Gloria is kidnapped by a cult which, under a locust moon, performs an occult ritual while wearing grotesque masks before committing suicide. A locust moon is the appearance of the moon in late spring after the "Flower Moon" of May. Five years later, a traumatized Gloria is living with her mother, Ruth. Slowly recovering from her experience, Gloria attends a therapy group at her local church with her lover Joan. Joan tells Gloria she has something special planned for her birthday tomorrow. But on the night before her birthday, Gloria is kidnapped by Thomas, a man whose face is hideously scarred by fire, and taken to a remote cabin in the countryside. Joan launches an increasingly frenetic search for Gloria, and pulls a knife on a man who is indifferent to Gloria's kidnapping. When a police officer learns of Joan's violent behaviour, he suspects that she was involved in Gloria's kidnapping, which leads her to kill both him and the inconvenient witness Ruth. Thomas tells Gloria that he was one of the cultists who had kidnapped her five years ago, and that he was moved by her humanity, which caused him to abandon his beliefs on that night. He feigned suicide, and states that he kidnapped her to protect her from the remaining cultists, who intend to finish the ritual under the coming locust moon. The cultists believed that they had implanted the demon Abaddon, the "Taker of Souls", into Gloria's body and that it has been growing inside of her for the last five years. Under the light of the locust moon, Gloria becomes seriously ill and begs Thomas to take her to a hospital. Both Thomas and Gloria experience visions of Abaddon while various occurrences suggest a malevolent supernatural force is present in the cabin. As Gloria begins to grow wings, Thomas starts to believe she really is turning into Abaddon, and contemplates killing her before the transformation is complete. Joan is revealed to be the leader of the cult who kidnapped Gloria. Thomas tells Gloria that Joan is really his sadistic sister Gwendolyn who scarred him with fire. Gloria, whose appearance is increasingly inhuman as her metamorphosis processes, starts to lose herself mentally and begins to speak in the voice of Abaddon, saying she will kill him first and take his soul to hell. Gwendolyn learns from a man who witnessed the second kidnapping that the kidnapper had a scarred face, which leads her to deduce that it was Thomas. Gwendolyn goes to the cabin (which belonged to their parents), knocks out Thomas, taunts Gloria over her physical degeneration, and begins to perform an occult ritual before a chained Gloria. Thomas breaks free, kills Gwen and takes a seemingly dead Gloria outside under a rising sun. Gloria revives and attacks him, saying in the voice of Abaddon that she will take his soul to hell.

David Hunter is asked by the police to come to an abandoned and derelict hospital (St Jude’s) in London. A mummified corpse has been found in a loft space and Hunter's expertise is brought to bear on the case. After a ceiling collapses, a hidden room is revealed which has a further two bodies in it. After making sure that the building is safe, a cadaver dog is brought in to search for more bodies. Those they have found were put into the room after the hospital was closed and were walled up inside with strange torture and burn marks on their bodies. As in other cases, Hunter becomes too involved in the people either directly involved with, or on the fringes of the case. One of the people trying to save the hospital is a barrister who asks Hunter for too much information and is killed in a very suspicious hit-and-run which also wounds a fellow forensic officer on the case. Besides all of this, Hunter has to contend with his girlfriend taking a 3-month job abroad and the spectre of Grace Strachan, a female killer from the second book, still causing him to be jittery as she could be back to get him.

The film is, like the play, a dramatization of a middle of the night reminiscence by a dying Golda Meir, the fourth Prime Minister of Israel, as she endures insomnia while tracing the main events of her seventy-nine years of life. While the plot is anchored in the events of her Premiership during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Golda relives (and describes to the audience) the events of her childhood during the 1903 Kishinev pogrom in Moscow, her emigration to Milwaukee at the age of seven, her teenage activism in the Labor Zionist movement during World War I, her emigration to the British Mandate for Palestine in 1921, her rise in Israeli politics from the 1920s through the 1970s (as an important member of both the Histadrut and the Yishuv, then Minister of Labor, Foreign Minister, and finally Prime Minister of Israel) — finally climaxing with her consideration of the Samson Option to drop nuclear weapons on the armies of the Arab states at the peak of the Yom Kippur War.

A woman named Holly sticks a probe into the top of her head and turns the dial button on a machine. Holly disconnects from the machine and goes to a party dressed in her work uniform as the hostess. After arriving at the party, she walks up to a wealthy attorney, grabs a knife, and brutally stabs him in the neck and gut. Everyone at the party flee in terror and call the cops. Holly takes out a gun from her purse and puts it in her mouth, but before she pulls the trigger, she stops and instead aims the gun at the police, and they shoot her dead. Afterwards, a woman named Tasya Vos is shown being removed from a machine. She is a "possessor": a contract killer whose consciousness is implanted into the body of another person in order to carry out an assassination. Tasya was controlling Holly’s body and committed the murder, but couldn't overcome Holly's resistance to committing suicide. During a post-assassination debriefing by her boss Girder, Tasya identifies objects of her past to prove that her sense of self is intact. One of the objects is a mounted butterfly, which she expresses regret for killing as a child. Tasya indicates she wants time to reconnect with her estranged husband Michael and son Ian. However, when she visits with them, she must rehearse how to engage in ordinary conversation with them, showing she is unsteady in ordinary civilian life. Later, Girder updates Tasya on her next job, one of the biggest ones the company has ever received. They’ve been hired by a man named Reid, who is the stepson of a man named John Parse. John is the owner of a massive corporation that specializes in data mining. Reid wants them to assassinate John and his daughter Ava so that he can take over the company. Girder is particularly excited about this hit because, once the job is done, the company will effectively be able to control John’s via blackmailing Reid. Tasya is instructed to possess Ava’s boyfriend Colin Tate. She does a stakeout and, after becoming familiar with Colin’s mannerisms and speech patterns, the company abducts him and implants a neural network in him. Tasya wakes up in Colin’s body, and lives inside his life, finding herself attracted to Ava, despite knowing she will have to kill her. She is blindsided by interactions with Eddie, a co-worker at Parse's company, and Reeta, a friend of Ava's whom Colin has slept with before, each of them revealing details of Colin's life she was not briefed on in Girder's preparation. The day of a large party, Girder instructs Tasya to have Colin get into a public argument with Parse to establish motive for the later assassination. After doing this, Colin is kicked out and Tasya hides in the bushes until the party ends. Afterwards, Colin brutally attacks John with a poker instead of the company provided gun. Ava walks in and Colin kills her with a shot to the head. He then puts the gun in his mouth but is unable to pull the trigger. In the company headquarters, Tasya pukes up blood while still hooked into the machine and the support staff says that Colin has reasserted control. They want to prematurely disconnect Tasya, but Girder orders them to give her more time to try and reassert control. Colin runs to Reeta’s home, and soon blacks out. After he awakens, he hears a knock on the door and is surprised to see Eddie. Eddie enters the apartment and claims Reeta called him, but soon knocks out Colin. When Colin awakens, he is connected to a recalibration machine and Tasya is seemingly back in control. Eddie was working for the assassination company the entire time and was planted as a lifeline for Tasya in case anything went wrong. He explains that Tasya needs to complete the suicide and then they can pull her out, but she says she still isn’t fully in control. Eddie says he will help her override Colin’s consciousness and they begin a process to do so. News reports, meanwhile, reveal that John Parse has survived the failed assassination. During the process, we see Colin’s consciousness enter the room and attack Tasya. Colin rips off her face, wears it as a mask, and is able to access her memories. Then their combined form blacks out. When Colin awakens, he finds Eddie dead on the floor. He also finds Reeta dead from their earlier encounter. Colin’s hand suddenly grabs the gun and fires it at himself, but dodges the bullet. He then angrily leaves Reeta’s house, and tracks down Tasya's based on the memories he experienced. He breaks in and holds Michael hostage. Colin demands that Tasya reveal herself and explain what is happening. He and Tasya's consciousness then talk on the psychic plane. She says that Colin has been in control for some time. Colin threatens he will kill Michael if she doesn’t help him, but she actually encourages Colin to kill him. While Colin is distracted during this psychic conversation, Michael disarms him. Before he can shoot Colin, Colin butchers him to death with a meat cleaver. Tasya then asks to be pulled out, but again can’t make Colin commit suicide. Suddenly, Colin is stabbed in the throat by her son Ira. As Colin bleeds out, he shoots Ira dead; before he expires, Ira also asks to be pulled out, indicating someone else has been controlling him as well. Tasya is removed from the machine connecting her to Colin, while Girder is revealed as Ira's possessor, and also removed from her machine. This time, during the debriefing, Tasya remembers killing and mounting the butterfly, but does not express remorse for the actions, suggesting while the state of her mind is unclear, she has lost the empathy she demonstrated previously in the story.

On a remote Colombian mountaintop, the Monos, a group of teenage commandos identified only by their noms de guerre, perform military training exercises while watching over a prisoner of war referred to only as "Doctora". They are visited by the Messenger, who oversees their drills and instructs them to push themselves harder. Two of the Monos, Lady and Wolf, request permission to enter a romantic relationship, which the Messenger authorizes. Before departing, he leaves the Monos in charge of a milk cow named Shakira. Lady and Wolf consummate their relationship, an event the other commandos honor with celebratory gunfire, during which Shakira is inadvertently shot and killed by Dog. The Monos punish Dog by putting him in solitary confinement in a pit and then drag Shakira's body to their camp to strip it for meat. Troop leader Wolf commits suicide. The Monos argue over how to report this to the Messenger via radio; they eventually lie to protect Dog, saying that Wolf killed Shakira and killed himself out of shame. With Wolf's death, the Messenger appoints Bigfoot as head of the squad. Over the radio, the Organization's commander asks Doctora questions from her family to confirm that she is alive. The Monos' base is attacked and Doctora is put under the watch of Swede, who informs her that she will be killed if the opposing forces try to rescue her. While they are alone together, Doctora appeals to Swede's emotions to help her escape and the two embrace when the bunker in which they are hiding is shelled. Swede begins kissing Doctora, who throws her off; Swede then laughs at her. The following day, Bigfoot announces that the Monos were triumphant in the fight and will be relocating to the jungle. Soon after their arrival, Doctora makes an escape. Bigfoot is enraged, damaging the radio and declaring the Monos independent of the unnamed Organization that they serve. After Doctora is recaptured, Bigfoot demands that Rambo chain the prisoner to a tree. Rambo does so but begins to cry, further angering Bigfoot. The Messenger returns to check on the Monos and discovers that Lady and Bigfoot have begun a sexual relationship without approval. He forces the Monos to carry out strenuous exercises and confess to him about one another's misdeeds. Smurf reveals that Dog is the one who killed Shakira and recounts what Bigfoot said about the Monos' independence. The Messenger announces that he will be taking Bigfoot to be assessed by the Organization's superiors. However, on the motorboat ride there, Bigfoot shoots the Messenger in the back and returns to the jungle camp. Smurf is tied to a tree as punishment for snitching and the Monos double down on their training, successfully robbing several passing motorists. During the night, Rambo tries to free Smurf but is stopped by Lady. Rambo then runs off alone, coming across a boat, where he is caught by its owner, who is diving for gold in the river. He takes Rambo back to his home, where Rambo meets the man's family and is given food and a bed. Swede takes Doctora to swim and soon joins her in the river. Doctora uses the chain to drown Swede, then breaks the links with a rock. Back on land, she finds Smurf tied up and takes his boots. Smurf begs Doctora to take him with her but she declines. The Monos track Rambo down and attack the house, killing the man and his wife. As Rambo flees, a television in the background reports that Doctora has been spotted in the jungle and it is implied she will soon be rescued by authorities. Lady finds the couple's three children hiding under a table while Bigfoot, Boom Boom, and Dog chase after Rambo, who jumps into the river. Eventually, Rambo washes up on shore and is picked up by a military helicopter, whose pilots radio ahead that they have found an unidentified person. As the helicopter arrives in a nearby city, one of the soldiers contacts his commander, repeatedly requesting what to do with the captive as Rambo starts crying.

Similar to many of Egoyan's other films, Guest of Honour features a narrative structure that alternates between the past and present. In the present day, Veronica meets with a priest, Father Greg, in his church to discuss funeral arrangements for her recently deceased father, Jim. Their conversation reveals details of Jim and Veronica's lives which are shown through a series of flashbacks. Father Greg expresses some confusion as to why Jim wished to have his funeral at this particular church given that Jim was not a member of the congregation. He agrees to allow the funeral to take place at his church, but he first asks Veronica to share more information about Jim's life so that he is prepared to give a eulogy at the funeral. Veronica emphasizes Jim's commitment to his work as a food inspector and his ability to care for the family's pet rabbit, Benjamin, who died at the improbable age of 16. Prior to his death, Jim was a food safety inspector working for the City of Hamilton. He took his job very seriously, and his strict adherence to the health and safety code often led to clashes with restaurant owners, many of whom are immigrants who may not be familiar with Canadian food safety standards. Jim would also regularly visit Veronica in prison where she was previously serving a sentence for having had sexual relations with an underage teenage boy named Clive when she was a high school music teacher. However, Veronica did not actually commit this crime. To Jim's astonishment, Veronica inexplicably resists any attempt to secure her release from prison and she has no interest in speaking to her lawyer. She claims that she deserves to be in prison for what she did, hinting at something else she is guilty of in her past. A flashback reveals the details of an overnight school band trip that leads to Veronica's imprisonment. A bus driver and chaperone, Mike, becomes spiteful of Clive's romantic interest in Veronica and her rejection of his own advances. During one of the band's performances, Mike uses Veronica's cell phone to send a sexually suggestive text message to Clive. Clive later approaches Veronica to inform her of the text message. He acknowledges that the message could not have sent by her because they were performing at the time the message was sent, and their phones were left on the school bus, a rule enforced by Veronica herself. They both conclude the obvious fact that Mike was the one who sent the text message using Veronica's phone, but they decide to pull a prank on Mike rather than reporting the incident. Later that night at a motel, Veronica, Clive, and another male student spend time alone in a room and purposely make a lot of noise to trick Mike into thinking that they are partying and having sex. Clive signals for the other student to move to the adjoining room to leave him alone with Veronica. Veronica begins to have a flashback to the suicide of her teenage boyfriend, Walter, causing her to panic and storm out of the room in plain sight of Mike who then confronts her. Veronica explains to Father Greg that she entered a plea deal and asked for the longest sentence possible rather than allowing her case to proceed in court which would have allowed Clive and the other students to testify as witnesses and vindicate her. Father Greg is perplexed and asks Veronica why she would have been willing to go to jail for something she did not do. Veronica explains that she wanted to go to jail for something else she did in her past. A series of flashbacks reveal that Veronica began regularly taking music lessons at the private residence of a woman named Alicia when she was eight years old. Alicia is a single mother who also teaches music to her son, Walter, who is of a similar age to Veronica, and the two children would go on to regularly perform together at recitals. Around this time, Veronica's mother, Roseangela, became very ill and passed away soon afterwards. Towards the end of Roseangela's life, Jim and Alicia began developing a romantic relationship which was facilitated in large part by Veronica's music lessons. Veronica resented this relationship and the possibility of Alicia becoming her new mother. Veronica's perception of Jim and Alicia's relationship continues to cause tension and disagreement between her and her father during their meetings in prison. Veronica claims that she remembers seeing her father holding hands with Alicia while she was performing at a musical recital despite the fact that her mother was still alive and in attendance, a charge which Jim denies and tries to disprove while emphasizing that he could never love anyone as much as Roseangela. Veronica also claims to remember seeing Alicia follow her father upstairs to presumably have sex during her music lessons which had merely become a pretext for their blossoming relationship. While Jim and Alicia were upstairs doing something, Veronica would be left alone in the piano room to write music. During a music lesson with Veronica, Alicia experiences a migraine and retreats upstairs to lay down and smoke a cigarette. Veronica stays downstairs in the piano room to write a piece of music and then proceeds upstairs. As Veronica approaches a doorway, she sees Alicia asleep on a couch with a lit cigarette in her hand. Alicia's hand slips off the couch and lands on a stack of papers which catch fire. Veronica allows Alicia to burn to death in order to avoid the possibility of Alicia marrying Jim. Veronica and Walter later become romantically involved when they are teenagers. At some point in their relationship, Walter becomes aware of the circumstances regarding his mother's death. When Veronica breaks up with Walter, he becomes traumatized and then records a video using Veronica's cell phone blaming her for his mother's death and explaining his intention to commit suicide and join his mother in the underworld which Veronica sent her to, all while Veronica is sleeping. Veronica wakes up the next morning to find her cell phone on the nightstand with a sticky note affixed reading "watch later." She then finds Walter dead in a bloody bathtub. The deaths of Alicia and Walter are the source of Veronica's guilt and her desire to go to jail, details which she admits to Father Greg. Her conversation with Father Greg eventually leads to some closure for her as she begins to come to terms with the true nature of her father's relationship with Alicia and the traumatic incidents which have occurred throughout her life, and she begins to re-frame her perception of them. Two flashbacks reveal that Veronica's recollection of what was going on between Alicia and her father was mostly correct, but severely distorted. Jim inspects an Armenian restaurant called Wild Orchid and discovers two major violations pertaining to their processing of rabbit meat in the kitchen. The restaurant owners convince Jim that the rabbit meat is for a private event and is not for sale during a regular dinner service, but he is skeptical and intends to come back to verify their claim. Later that week, Jim visits a popular German restaurant which is owned by Clive's family. He spreads some of Benjamin's feces, which he has altered to appear like rat droppings, on the bathroom floor. He threatens Clive's grandfather with a shutdown of the restaurant unless he is given an opportunity to speak privately with Clive who had been intentionally avoiding contact with Jim. During a tense conversation, Clive truthfully explains what happened during the school trip which led to Veronica's imprisonment, and he tells Jim that the bus driver was the one who sent the inappropriate text. He also tells Jim that he knows Veronica felt responsible for Walter's suicide. Later that night, Jim returns to Wild Orchid and discovers that there is in fact a special event taking place at the restaurant, and he is unexpectedly the family's guest of honour that evening. After drinking too much wine, he is invited to give a speech in which he expresses his anguish regarding Veronica's imprisonment despite the fact that she came from a loving home with parents who supported her and made sacrifices for her, to the bewilderment of the other guests who are not aware of Veronica's crime. He expresses his desire to kill the bus driver who was responsible, causing him to be reported to the police by the restaurant owners after they send him home in a taxi. While being interrogated by the police the next day, Jim notices that Benjamin, who was given to Veronica as a gift when she was nine, has suddenly died in his cage. Jim returns to Wild Orchid carrying Benjamin's dead body and demands that the restaurant owners cut off Benjamin's feet so that he can keep them as good luck charms. The mortified restaurant owners comply with the request in order to get Jim to leave. During their final prison visitation, Jim tells Veronica about what happened at the restaurant and the visitation from the police. He explains that the police are suspicious of his regular visits to the prison because he and Veronica may be plotting to murder Mike. He explains that he got carried away during his speech and that the police are just doing their job by investigating the threat. Veronica excitedly asks if this means her sentence will be extended even further, causing a bewildered Jim to ask her what is wrong with her. Veronica explains that Jim, everything he has done, and everything she saw and endured as a child, is what is wrong with her, but also what is right with her. At Jim's funeral, Father Greg tells a story about having met Jim briefly at the funeral of another parishioner, Alicia, and how Jim had told him about how important Alicia was to Veronica's musical education. Father Greg asks the parishioners in attendance to mourn the deaths of both Jim and Alicia. Veronica, now in possession of the good luck charms made from Benjamin's feet, asks Father Greg to place the charms in the casket with Jim's body after first keeping one for herself and gifting another to Father Greg. Father Greg places the remaining charms in Jim's hands and then closes the casket. The final scene is a flashback to when Veronica was a music teacher. During a recital, she introduces the final piece of music on the program by explaining that it is a tune she wrote during a difficult time in her life when she was a girl. It is one of the songs she wrote when she was left alone in the piano room at Alicia's home.

It's sunset and the narrator rests amidst the Moldovan vineyards, watching men and women returning home from work, singing songs. With him is Izergil, once beautiful, now very old, decrepit woman. She scolds him for being so withdrawn ("You Russians are born already old men!"), then starts telling him stories. I. The first one, having to do with the origins of the mysterious moving shadow (which she claims to see, although the narrator doesn't), is the legend of Larra, the son of an eagle and a woman. Larra enters the local community of men full of pride and with no concern or respect for others, knowing just one law, that of his own desires. A young woman thwarts his approaches and gets brutally killed. Outraged, the men try to figure out the proper way to punish the villain. Then the wisest one suggests that they should just let him go, for that would be the worst fate for this evil creature, bound to punish himself. For many years he fights them, then starts longing for death, but such is the curse upon him that he cannot die. He tries to kill himself but fails. Left alone, wandering on his own, after many years he gradually turns into a shadow doomed to wander the world forever. II. After informing the narrator that "health is like gold, it is there to be spared", Izergil relates to him the story of her rather turbulent love life. Among the men whom she had, unrepentantly, discarded, were: — the fisherman from Prut whom she fell in love as a teenager girl, but soon got bored with; — the red-haired Gutsul outlaw. He was later hanged, along with the fisherman (who'd joined the same gang), after being betrayed by a Romanian landlord; the latter has been punished severely for this, and Izergil apparently had some part in the deed; — the rich middle-aged Turk whose harem she agreed to join in Bucharest; — his 16-old son whom she soon eloped with to Bulgaria, where a woman stabbed her ("for either her husband, or fiancé, I don't remember"); — a Polish man, described as 'funny and mean', but also prone to offensive remarks for one of which she threw him into the river and went away; — a Jew who bought her to make her sell her body; — the handsome Szlachta man whom she fell in love with, and later (after he'd been imprisoned for taking part in the January Uprising) helped escaping from the Russian prison camp, killing a guardsman. III. Izergil asks the narrator if he sees the blueish sparks in the field, as the night falls, and when he says he does, tells him the story of their origins. In the old times and the distant lands, a small community of people, driven out of their homeland by the enemy, enter the dark and dangerous forest. Surrounded by darkness and paralyzed with fear, they still have to go forward, into the unknown, for with them are the old testaments of their forefathers. The moment comes when things become so intolerable that they start talking about turning round and surrendering. But the young man named Danko arises and encourages them to move on, taking up the role of their leader. For a while they follow him enthusiastically, then the discontent starts to grow again. The great storm breaks out, and, horrified by the rain and lightning, they blame Danko for everything that happened to them. Overcome by rage, but also the desire to help out this ungrateful crowd, he tears his chest up, and rises his flaming heart up, as a lantern. Their way suddenly lightened, the people rush forward, soon reach the end to the path and then suddenly find themselves in the sun, among beautiful fields washed with fresh rain. Everybody forgets about Danko who, left behind and bleeding, falls down and dies. Just one last man, perhaps fearing something, approaches him and tramples down the embers of his heart, sending blue sparks around and away.

The film begins with friends Dick Long, Zeke Olsen, and Earl White carousing: playing loud rock music, shooting off fireworks, and pulling pranks on one another. The night turns deadly serious when Dick ends up sustaining severe injuries and his friends dump him in front of an emergency room. The cause of his wounds is unexplained. Earl returns to his home and loads up his truck with several of his possessions, telling friend and casual love interest Lake that he has to leave town for a family emergency but rather than skip town immediately, he briefly attends a shift at his warehouse job. Zeke gets a shower and quietly sneaks into bed, fooling his wife Lydia into thinking he had been asleep. She asks him to drive their daughter Cynthia to school. He agrees and when Lydia asks him for some cash, he inadvertently pulls Dick's wallet out of his pocket: he and Zeke took it off of him as he laid unconscious. He takes out the driver's license and puts it on the counter and quickly gets Cynthia down to the garage. Before they leave, he realizes that his back seat is covered in blood and he covers it with a sheet. As the two men begin their day, Dr. Richter—the physician who discovered Dick lying outside the hospital where he works—calls the local police department. The man has died overnight from severe rectal hemorrhaging and he suspects that there was a sex crime involved. Zeke stops off at a gas station and inside the store, Cynthia interacts with Officer Dudley. As the child tells her that her father found a wallet that he should return, Zeke notices that the blood in the back seat has soaked through to Cynthia's dress. He runs inside to keep the police officer from seeing and gives her the wallet. The two quickly leave and Zeke calls Earl to tell them that they have to meet immediately. Earl arrives at Zeke's house where Cynthia is upstairs bathing: the two attempt to scrub the blood from out of the back seat and Earl takes the girl to school in his truck where he briefly speaks to Dick's widow Jane who doesn't realize her husband is dead. The duo eventually decide to dump the evidence in a river and walk away, with the cover story that the car was stolen. At the police station, Sheriff Spenser enlists Dudley to help her with the murder. Lydia hears gossip that someone was murdered and calls Zeke in a panic; that night, she is flustered and afraid for her safety. When Zeke tells her that their car was stolen the night before, she insists on calling the police and Dudley and Spenser arrive to question him. The interrogation is brief: forensic analysis is complete on Dick's body. Cynthia overhears Zeke's lying and mentions how he drove her in the car that morning. Lydia tells her to go watch television and confronts Zeke about these inconsistencies, demanding the truth. Zeke breaks down and tells her that Dick is dead. She is shaken and asks for details. Zeke confesses that he, Earl and Dick all had participated in zoophilic acts for years, and Dick died from having had sex with Dick and Jane's horse Comet. Lydia is disgusted and demands that he leave. He goes to a local bar to meet Earl and becomes resolved that he will not run away. Meanwhile, at the police station, Dudley and Spenser agree to return to the Olsens' and to inform Jane of what has happened to her husband. At Jane's house, she walks to their stable to find a drunk Zeke shirtless. She asks him what is happening and if Dick is having an affair. He reassures her that he is not and the duo walk back to Zeke's house where Dudley has recently arrived. They all sit at the dinner table where Lydia and Zeke's stories spiral out of control until he blurts out that Lydia had nothing to do with what happened and he runs out of the kitchen. Dudley follows after him and Lydia tells Jane to stay so she can explain. Zeke has gone to the stable to free Comet and begs him to run away as Dudley arrests him. The next morning, Dudley and Spenser walk to the site of the ditched car and the sheriff explains that Zeke has been released. Dudley is incredulous but her boss explains that these charges would only cause more harm, ruining the lives of Cynthia, Jane, and Lydia. Zeke wanders away from the police station to Cynthia's school in time to catch the end of her piano recital. Lydia briefly confronts him and tells him to get out of their lives. That night, he is dropped off at a motel where Earl and Lake have a room. Zeke asks what Earl's plan is for his complicated lie and how the three of them will survive. Earl shrugs, says that he'll come up with something, and starts playing "How You Remind Me" on his guitar.

Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge) is a 27-year-old former high school football star living with his mother (Sherri Shepherd) in Long Beach, California. He is currently on parole and registered as a sex offender due to an incident 11 years prior where he and a classmate, Kennisha (Xosha Roquemore), sneaked off to kiss. When he overheard teachers approaching, he fled to avoid getting caught, leading the scorned Kennisha to falsely accuse him of raping her. On the advice of his attorney, Banks pled no contest to rape and was sentenced to six years of prison. His childhood dreams of becoming an NFL player are further damaged when new laws require him to wear an ankle monitor at all times and stay 2000 feet away from schools and public gathering spots, preventing him from playing football, and he has trouble finding legitimate employment due to his criminal record. Banks approaches the California Innocence Project hoping to clear his name, and they advise him to write a plea of habeas corpus to the California legal system to get them to retry him. When this fails, Innocence Project founder Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear) explains that the justice system requires new evidence that incontrovertibly points to his innocence before they will hear his pleas; this excludes DNA evidence, which was taken during the original trial but never used in his defense. Innocence Project lawyers interview several of Banks' former classmates, but their word is not strong enough to cast doubt on Banks' conviction. Banks unexpectedly receives a Facebook friend request from Kennisha, leading him to devise a scheme with several of his friends to trick her into confessing on tape that the rape allegation was fraudulent. This seemingly succeeds, and Banks takes the tape to the Innocence Project. However, since Kennisha did not know she was being recorded, the evidence is inadmissible in court. Brooks sends the tape to the media, causing public outcry at the injustice of Banks' situation. Banks' parole officer calls him and warns him that his contact with Kennisha is a parole violation, but gives him until his parole expires before reporting the violation and placing Banks back in prison. Brooks approaches District Attorney Mateo (Jose Miguel Vazquez) and convinces him that Banks needs a new trial. Banks goes to court, but Kennisha refuses to testify and claims that Banks offered her $20,000 to say he didn't rape her on tape. Mateo and Brooks confront her and eventually get her to say on the record that her claim that Banks bribed her was a lie; this casts enough doubt on Banks' guilt to convince the judge to finally overturn Banks' conviction. Banks cuts off the ankle bracelet and heads to a local park, where he enjoys a game of football with some local children. The final narration reveals that Pete Carroll, a former University of Southern California coach who offered him a scholarship to USC during his high school days, invited him to try out for the Seattle Seahawks; failing to make the team due to his skills atrophying as a result of his extended time in prison, Banks trained hard over the next year and eventually was signed by the Atlanta Falcons.

Set in Kyoto 2027, the Japanese government has made plans to collect and preserve the city's natural architecture and culture through drones in real time, storing all its data in an infinite-capacity machine known as Alltale. Naomi Katagaki is an indecisive high school student living in Kyoto who harbours a love for reading. One day after school, a mysterious yatagarasu steals his library book and in an attempt to get it back, he meets a strange man that appears out of nowhere. This man, whom only Naomi can see, is revealed to be himself from 10 years later, now grown up and an adult. The adult Naomi explains that he has accessed Alltale from the real world outside in order to change the recorded past and save Naomi's to-be girlfriend, his classmate Ruri Ichigyō, after she was unfortunately struck by lightning at a fireworks festival and rendered comatose. The teenage Naomi decides to call his adult self 'Sensei' and agrees to help, as his adult self has limited capabilities as an avatar within Alltale. Sensei then gifts Naomi a special power, God's Hand, which manifests from the yatagarasu as a translucent gloved hand, to allow him to create anything as long as its chemical and physical structure is not overly complex. Consulting his own diary, Sensei leads Naomi to slowly gain Ruri's affection and they eventually fall in love. On the night of the incident, Naomi refuses to invite her out for the festival and remains outside her house per Sensei's orders. They realise that due to this being a world within Alltale, Sensei's interference has caused its Homeostatic System to kick in. Bots in the form of kitsune men appear attempting to correct the data, transporting Ruri and Naomi to the site of the incident. Summoning a black hole, Naomi erases not only the kitsune men, but also the stroke of lightning that would have hit the tree Ruri was originally supposed to have waited at and hence the accident, successfully rescuing Ruri and rewriting the data. In a twist of events, Sensei suddenly reclaims God's Hand and teleports Ruri away before disappearing. Naomi is shocked as he realizes that Sensei's plan was to recreate Ruri's original mental state in Alltale so that the data within could be synced with Ruri's own comatose mind in the real world, enabling her to wake up. Returning, defeated, to the city, Naomi is suddenly faced with thousands of kitsune men — an effect of Sensei deciding to reboot the system after all data relevant to Ruri's existence has been rewritten. The system then automatically starts filtering parts of data to keep and those to be erased, causing the space within 2027 Kyoto to shift and for red auroras to appear in the sky. Naomi, recalling how Ruri was teleported away in a similar fashion, jumps into the redness. He awakes in a virtual space to the yatagarasu, who assures him that he is not dead and promises to help him save Ruri, manifesting God's Hand for him once more. Meanwhile, in the real world, Sensei embraces Ruri, who has woken up from a coma. However, kitsune men soon start appearing around the room targeting her, Sensei realized his world also a world within Alltale. Teenage Naomi warps to Ruri's hospital room and prepares to bring her to the staircase outside Alltale's complex, which has the optimal spatial coordinates for them to return to their original world. With help from Sensei, they manage to outrun the kitsune men and Ruri returns to her time via a portal created by God's Hand. The kitsune men, shifting their targets to the two Naomis, transform into a horrible gigantic creature that overpowers Naomi's strength. In the last moment, Sensei sacrifices himself, knowing that there can only be one Naomi and thanking his past self for letting him see Ruri smile again, wishing for him to always be happy. Inside the Alltale Management Facility, Alltale is successfully shut down after its data goes haywire and begins to duplicate itself. Alltale logic system has been deactivated which makes it possible to parallel world to happen inside Alltale. In tears, Naomi returns to Ruri and the two share a kiss. As the data has been written and rewritten beyond recognition, Naomi greets a parallel world ahead of him and Ruri. In the final scene, adult Naomi awakens atop a human civilisation on the Moon, to the overlapping voice of the yatagarasu and an adult Ruri, implying that Naomi fell into a coma after saving Ruri due to the injuries from failing to enter Alltale in his previous attempts and now it was adult Ruri transferring Naomi's memory from Alltale to the real world.

Starting off again with a heroic antic, the story moves ahead from Dabangg 2 with the corrupt yet much loved cop, ASP Chulbul Pandey, preventing a robbery at a wedding, and beating the goons and their leader, Gullu, black and blue. Gullu then agrees to return to his former part-time job as a wedding band trumpeter, and Chulbul is seen dealing with the everyday lives of his wife Rajjo, brother Makhanchand "Makkhi" Pandey, also a police officer, and his son, while his father Prajapati Pandey stays at home with Rajjo. Makkhi appears to be enjoying a lavish lifestyle most of the times. One fateful day, a despaired girl, probably injured, arrives in a hurry at Makkhi's station after escaping from somewhere, and seeks help; Makkhi, expecting to punish her captors, who tried to sell her and other girls off, is joined by Chulbul, and after a scuffle, the brothers arrest Chinti Walia, who runs a prostitution racket. While trying to force a confession out of Chinti at the police station, Chulbul intercepts a lawyer and some goons who have come over to have Chinti released, but he tears off the court order, and in desperation, the leader of the goons keeps his video call going on even as Chulbul smiles into the screen. Minutes later, the leader shows the video call to Bali Singh, who sees Chulbul, who in turns looks back into the phone camera to see Bali. Shocked beyond words, he reminisces his younger days, recalling his fate with Bali. Years ago, when he was still young, Chulbul, whose real name turns out to be Dhaakad Chand Pandey, fell in love with a girl, Khushi, who was initially being considered as a potential bride for Makkhi, after he noticed a photo of her in Makkhi's hand, and told his mother, Naini Devi, that he would be a good fit instead of Makkhi; a few days later, Khushi's maternal uncle Prabhat and maternal aunt Janki agreed to the match between Dhaakad and Khushi, and the two began courting each other. At the same time, Bali, a ruthless and violent goon, set his eyes on Khushi and began making arrangements for his marriage with her. However, the moment he saw Dhaakad with Khushi, he decided to kill Khushi and her family right in front of Dhaakad's eyes after luring him to the spot. Prabhat and Janki were both killed, and Khushi was thrown off a cliff to die. Consequently, both Khushi's uncle Hariya and his daughter Rajjo, revealed to be Khushi's friend, were deeply affected; Hariya took to alcoholism, while Dhaakad, who was framed by Bali and spent much time in prison for the deaths, was taken in by Commissioner Singh after saving him from attackers, and transformed into an uptight cop, naming himself Chulbul, in Khushi's memory, forming the events of Dabangg. At present, Chulbul, having relayed this entire episode to Prajapati and Rajjo, decides that he has had enough, and he needs to close the chapter once and for good. Meanwhile, an ill-attracted Makkhi is misled by Bali into turning against Chulbul, nearly so as to slap him after he too is promoted to the rank of ASP. The action causes him to be banished from home by Prajapati, and he joins hands with Bali actively. Bali, who is set to become a politician and a minister in the upcoming elections, plans to bring in a truck filled with money, and thus gets Makkhi and many other policemen in his circle transferred to one common location in order to facilitate the transportation. Chulbul, however, intercepts the truck and turns Bali's moles in the police force against Bali himself. As revenge, Bali gets several of Chulbul's associates kidnapped and brutally beaten to near death, until Chulbul breaks in again and frees them all, even when Bali has run away with Makkhi and some reliable accomplices. Seeking to lure Bali into counterproductive action, Chulbul kidnaps Minister S. S. Sharma and his brother-in-law by staging a ploy with Gullu's help, and forces a confession out of them, which is made viral. Bali notices the same and Makkhi helps him track them down since he recognizes the hideout. Upon arriving there, Bali kills Sharma and injures his brother-in-law; in retaliation, he sends wrestlers to attack Rajjo and her son, but Chulbul arrives in time to save the two. Some time later, Chulbul receives a call from Prajapati, who tells him that Rajjo hasn't arrived home. Sensing Bali's hand in the matter, he invades a quarry where Bali has held Rajjo, and surprisingly, Makkhi himself, as hostages – Makkhi was always on Chulbul's side and it was a game by the brothers to incense Bali; after an intense confrontation, Chulbul kills Bali.

When Avram (a parody of Abraham Lincoln) became King of Detina (Detinu is "United" spelled backwards - a parody of the USA) following the death of his father King Buchan (a parody of James Buchanan), he declared he intended to liberate the blond serfs from their ties to the land. The northern provinces (a parody of the Southern United States), where most of the serfs lived, do not accept his lordship. The hot north was a land of broad estates, whose noble overlords took the serfs' labor and gave back next to nothing. Those provinces secede from Detina, choosing Avram's cousin, Grand Duke Geoffrey (a parody of Jefferson Davis), as their king in his place. Avram refuses to let Geoffrey rule the north without a challenge. The southern provinces (a parody of the Union), full of merchants and smallholders stood solidly behind him. So he sent armies clad in gray against the north. Geoffrey raised his own army, and arrayed his men in blue made from the indigo much raised on northern estates to distinguish them from the southrons. This begins the Detian Civil War. In Sentry Peak, the story begins with Detina general Guildenstern (a parody of Union General Rosecrans; the name comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet, where Rosencranz is a minor character, as is Guildenstern) going on his war unicorn to meet Thraxton the Braggart (a parody of Confederate general Braxton Bragg) of the northern provinces, for a clash at Sentry Peak (a parody of Lookout Mountain) near Rising Rock (a parody of Chattanooga, Tennessee - whose name means "rock rising to a point" in the Creek language). Guildenstern is accompanied by Lieutenant General George, nicknamed "doubting George" (a parody of Major General George H. Thomas, commander of the Union XIV Corps). Everything else in the story is a parody in a vein similar to these examples.

The film opens with two elderly men discovering the corpse of Samyuktha, a 15-year-old school student who was found brutally murdered and wrapped in a polythene bag. Arun Kumar (Bellamkonda Sreenivas) is an aspiring filmmaker who wants to make a movie on psychopaths. After being rejected many times despite having a good script and due to pressure from his family, he decides to give up his dreams and become a sub-inspector with the help of his brother-in-law, Prasad (Rajeev Kanakala), a police officer himself. He moves in with his sister Sapna (Vinodhini Vaidyanathan), Prasad, and their daughter Siri (Abhirami). Siri gets into trouble when she makes Arun forge her father's signature on her report card as she failed in two subjects. Her class teacher Krishnaveni (Anupama Parameswaran) figures this out and thinks that she signed it herself. Siri brings Arun to her school to pretend to be her father. Later, when Siri is caught by her parents, they transfer their daughter to another school. Arun then meets and befriends Krishnaveni and her niece Kavya (Dua Kaushik), who is speech deprived. A teenage school girl named Amrutha is abducted on her way home. Her parents then find a mutilated doll's head in a gift box attached to their dog's collar. Arun finds a similarity between Samyuktha and Amrutha, both of them being 15-year-old school students who were kidnapped while returning from school. Just like Samyuktha, the hair on the doll's forehead is uprooted, the eyes are drilled, and her mouth is damaged. Apart from that, in particular, there is a knife mark on Samyuktha's forehead, ears and nasion. The same marks were found on the doll's face. He tries to convince ACP Lakshmi (Suzane George), his egotistical superior officer, that this was a psychopath at work. However, his theories are brushed off as stories. Later, Amrutha's brutally mutilated corpse is found. The killer drilled out Amrutha's eyes, broke her teeth, and uprooted her hair in patches. On top of that, Amrutha's body has stab wounds made while she was alive. Arun suggests the corpses be hidden from the public to prevent the killer from gaining attention. Initially, the officials oppose this idea owing to breaking protocol, but they eventually give in, moving the bodies to a secret facility under Dr. Kishore (Surya). Soon after, another school girl named Meera (Priya) is abducted. She happened to be from Siri's former school. The search leads to a teacher named Somaraj (Vinod Sagar), who works at Siri's current school and is revealed to be a pedophile preying on schoolgirls. Arun encounters Somaraj trying to molest Siri and beats him up before detaining him. Somaraj admits to being a sexual predator but denies having anything to do with the murders. In a bid to escape, he holds Venkat (Keshav Deepak), a policeman, at gunpoint. Arun manages to gun Somaraj down inside the lift, thereby saving Venkat. Meanwhile, Siri is abducted from her birthday party at home. Arun and Prasad try to find her but they were too late. Arun discovers her mutilated body in their car trunk, implying that she was also murdered. Things worsen for Arun, as he gets suspended for his negligence for shooting Somaraj. Dejected and angry, Arun investigates the case by himself, with the help of a few policemen. Finding an audio clip from the hearing aid of Meera, he traces it back to an elderly magician named Annabella George's (Saravanan) performance at the victim's school function. The lady used her magic show as a ruse to kidnap the girls since she impressed all the students with her magic tricks. She invites one student to volunteer in an act and then interacts with the student to gain her trust. She stalks the selected student leading to their kidnapping the day after meeting them, without any hassle. This leads Arun to the next potential victim, a schoolgirl named Sanjana (Trishala). Arun soon realises that he was following the wrong girl when he learns of Sanjana having a twin sister. Sanjana gets abducted, even though she was under surveillance. Arun tracks her location to a house in the city, where he narrowly saves Sanjana from being murdered. The perpetrator escapes, but her identity is revealed to be Mary Fernandez (her real name), who was involved in a killing a long time ago. Arun finds more about the case from the investigating officer, Jaya Prakash, (Radha Ravi), a retired cop. Mary's son Christopher (Yasar) had been afflicted with Werner Syndrome, a hormonal disorder that caused him to look aged. He was an outcast at school, but a girl named Sophie (Ragavi Renu) took pity on him and befriended him. Christopher soon began to develop feelings for Sophie, but unfortunately, he is heartbroken when she turns down his love and is ridiculed at school. The next day, Mary asked Sophie to become friends again and handed her a gift. When Sophie opens the gift box, she found a mutilated doll's head, which was what Sophie gave Christopher as his birthday gift. Sophie was brutally murdered by Mary, and both Mary and her son were arrested. It is then revealed that both Mary and Christopher were in an accident, and she is still alive and murdering with the same vengeance. Jaya Prakash finds a clue in the files but is killed by Mary before meeting Arun. On being found at the scene of the crime, Arun is detained and kept handcuffed at the station. He discovers that Jaya Prakash was trying to reveal that the person who had been performing the magic show in the school had six fingers on the left hand and by a piece of photo evidence, it is known that it was Christopher who has six fingers. Since only Mary died in the accident, the murderer is not the lady - it is her son Christopher, who has taken advantage of his aged appearance. Before Arun can act on this, Christopher attacks Krishnaveni and abducts Kavya. While trying to apprehend Christopher, Venkat is killed. Kavya escapes and is found by Kishore, who tries to hide her in the facility, but Kishore dies trying to protect her. Arun tracks down Christopher to the facility, and after a prolonged fight, manages to kill him and save Kavya. The movie ends with the media reporting the chain of events and an end to the murders by the psychopath. It is then revealed that Arun gets a chance to make a movie about a psychopath, fulfilling his dream.

Charlie, his wife Michelle, his brother Josh, and his business partner Mina (who is also Josh's girlfriend) rent an seaside house for a weekend getaway. Upon arriving at the remote property, the group meets the property caretaker Taylor, who acts oddly and makes comments to Mina that appear to be racially motivated. After Taylor leaves, Mina, Josh, and Charlie get high and Michelle goes to bed. Josh passes out on a couch, and Mina and Charlie have sex in the shower. The next morning, a hungover Mina and Charlie agree they can never be intimate again, while Josh mentions to Michelle that Charlie has cheated on several former girlfriends, making Michelle doubt Charlie. Mina discovers a minicamera in the showerhead and alerts Charlie. The two are confident that Taylor has installed the cameras and filmed them. Charlie stops her from alerting the police, reasoning that doing so would mean that in the police inquiry, Michelle and Josh would see the footage of them having sex. They decide instead to leave the next morning. That night, Michelle gets high and calls Taylor to fix the hot tub. Mina privately confronts Taylor about the hidden cameras, which he claims to be unaware of. He attempts to call the police himself; Mina tries to stop him.

Meanwhile, a masked man sneaks inside and smothers Taylor to death. When the others return and find Taylor dead, they assume that Josh has accidentally killed him.

Despondent at her husband's coldness, Michelle stays behind while the others carry Taylor's body to the cliff. The body falls onto an outcrop, forcing Josh to go down and push it into the sea. Michelle is lured to a television that shows footage of Mina and Charlie having sex the night before. When the other three return, they find her leaving; Charlie tries to stop her, and she tells him she saw the film and leaves. Down the road, she drives over a spike strip and crashes into a tree. Charlie gets a text from Michelle's phone and goes to search for her. He finds her dead body in the road and is then ambushed and murdered by the masked man. Back at the rental, Mina and Josh are looking for the shower camera's transceiver to destroy any footage it recorded. Josh receives messages from Charlie's phone that confirm Charlie and Mina had sex. Josh hears someone enter the house and rushes to confront the person, assuming it is Charlie. Instead, the masked man ambushes and kills Josh. Mina flees outside, pursued by the masked man. Mina falls off the cliff and into the ocean. The masked man returns to the house, removing all evidence and surveillance equipment. He rents a new property and installs cameras into it. Oblivious new inhabitants rent the location, and the masked man attacks a sleeping couple.

A civil war is tearing apart the kingdom of Detina. When Avram became the new King of Detina, he announced his intent to abolish serfdom for the blond serfs upon which the northern provinces depended, Detina was torn in two, and the rebellious north took Avram's cousin, Grand Duke Geoffrey, as their king. Neither side could expect an easy victory. While the south was larger and wealthier, the north had better soldiers and more powerful wizards. Led by officers riding unicorns, supplied by flying carpets, both sides clash for three years when Count Thraxton, a conceited wizard- general whose opinions of his spell-casting ability far outstripped the reality, bungled a spell which backfired disastrously against his own side, giving the Unionists a decisive victory. But the war was far from over: Thraxton is relieved of his command; which means that the south faces a far more competent general: Joseph the Gamecock. And Joseph and his troops were determined to hold Peachtree Province against the loyalist troops. They had occupied Rockface Rise, which offered only two narrow places where the Unionists could come at them, and had further fortified it with trenches and catapults. When the southern army attacked, they would face formidable obstacles both natural and manmade, as well as the repeating crossbows of the troops and the deadly sorcerous storm and lightning wielded by the northern wizards.

A man's car is hit by a stranger who kills him when he gets down to take pictures of the damage for claiming car insurance. Jung Tae- suk is an honest cop who goes through the crime scene and suspects it to be the work of a serial killer, but his senior does not believe him. Gangster Jang Dong-soo is on his way home after a meeting when the same killer hits his car and eventually tries to kill him. A brutal fight ensues, leaving both of them injured. Finally, the killer escapes after knocking Dong-soo with his car. Dong-soo is admitted to the hospital, and his henchmen assume that the attack was committed by a rival gang, whom they counter-attack. However, Dong- soo believes the killer was not a rival gang member as his moves seemed to be random and purposeless. Tae-suk visits Dong-soo at the hospital and asks him to cooperate so that he can catch the killer for him, but Dong-soo does not comply. Instead, Dong-soo orders his men to find the killer through a sketch, and they manage to find his car and a knife. Dong-soo eventually informs Tae- suk of the findings, and they decide to team up to catch the mysterious killer. Dong-soo agrees to provide manpower and cover expenses — but on the condition that the killer belongs to the one who finds him first. Dong-soo wants to kill him for revenge while Tae-suk wants to arrest him in order to solve five connected murder cases and then eventually get promoted. Meanwhile, Dong-soo orders his right-hand man, Kwon Oh-sung, to kill his rival Heo Sang- do with the killer's knife that already has the blood imprints of the killer's previous victims. An enraged Tae-suk gets into a fight with Dong-soo upon learning what he has done as the killing is confirmed to be the serial killer's work and the case would get transferred to the Major Case Squad. Dong-soo visits Sang-do's funeral where the killer also turns up informing Sang-do's second-in-command man that it was Dong-soo who actually killed Sang- do with the killer's knife. When Tae-suk and Dong-soo check the killer's car for any evidence, they are attacked by Sang-do's henchmen. A fight ensues, resulting in the death of Sang-do's right-hand man. Dong-soo gets him buried and clears the scene. Tae-suk is now assigned to investigate a kidnapping case, and, while solving it, he spots the killer. A chase ensues, but the killer flees. Through the forensic tests, Tae-suk discovers the killer to be a missing person. He informs Dong-soo about this and lets him hear a voice clip to confirm the missing person to be the killer. Later, Dong-soo helps a school girl by giving her his umbrella and soon learns that she has been killed and his umbrella was found at the crime scene. They start looking for the killer and eventually find him in a car. In an ensuing chase, the killer manages to kill Oh-sung but is finally captured and incapacitated by Dong-soo. The gangster takes the killer away to torture and kill him, but Tae-suk tracks them and crashes his car into the hideout, hitting Dong-soo unconscious and arresting the killer. With no conclusive evidence against the killer whose name is revealed to be Kang Kyung-ho, Dong-soo, being the sole survivor of his attack, testifies against him and proves him guilty when scars caused by Dong- soo's stabbing due to self-defense are demonstrated on Kyung-ho's body.

Once one of the best rock climbers in his college years, Yong-nam (Jo Jong-suk) is now a grown man, who is without a job and forced to live with his parents just to get by. Yong-nam is constantly reminded of this fact by his older sister Jung-hyun, who urges him to neaten up and make an impression at their mother's upcoming 70th birthday festivities. For his mother's birthday, Yong-nam insists they should celebrate it at the Cloud Garden, with Yong-nam secretly knowing that his old crush and fellow ex-rock climber Eui-joo (Im Yoon-ah) is working there. Yong- nam acts surprised to see Eui-joo and in order to impress her, he lies to her and claims that he now has a successful career, much to her surprise. However, at the same time, nearby, a toxic white gas is released from a truck close by to the Cloud Garden and quickly spreads to its immediate surroundings, causing mass pandemonium in the city. During this, Eui-joo discovers via a phone call from a close friend, that Yong-nam had lied to her about his job, and she becomes curious as to why. Oblivious to what is happening outside, Yong-nam's family are shocked to see the converging white gas and urged by Eui-joo, they return to the Cloud Garden but not before Jung-hyun stumbles and is quickly overwhelmed by the gas. In order to get themselves and Jung-hyun to safety, everyone heads to the roof, but much to their horror, they discover that the door to the roof is locked. With everyone else occupied, Yong-nam proceeds to shatter a window and leap across to the adjacent building. Only equipped with a makeshift harness, Yong-nam manages to scale the Cloud Garden and reach the top of the roof, where he opens the door for his family. Once everyone is assembled on the roof, they manage to hail a passing rescue helicopter with crude SOS signals. However, Yong-nam and Eui-joo are prevented from boarding the helicopter, as their inclusion would exceed the weight limit on the helicopter gondola. Due to the rising gas, they are then forced to wrap themselves up in improvisational safety gear and leave the Cloud Garden to seek higher ground. Once the two manage to find a suitable building, they proceed to signal to another passing helicopter. However, upon seeing a group of students trapped in a building opposite them, they redirect the helicopter to the students and away from themselves. After failing to be rescued twice, Yong-nam and Eui-joo realise that the only way to escape the rising gas is to head towards the tower crane, the highest point in the vicinity. At the same time, they are discovered by a drone, which they use to provide directions towards the tower crane. After running and climbing across numerous buildings, the drone finally loses power, leaving Yong-nam and Eui-joo at a dead end, as they realise that none of the surrounding buildings are close enough to get to the tower crane. Just as they begin to despair, multiple drones begin to converge towards their location, and Yong-nam is able to suspend a rope across the buildings by utilising one of them. Yong-nam and Eui-joo then attempt to swing across, but their combined weight proves too much for the drone, and the two fall, seemingly to their deaths. However, the two manage to survive the fall and reach the tower crane, from where they are eventually extracted from by a rescue helicopter. Once on safe ground, Yong-nam tearfully reunites with the rest of his family. As Yong-nam and Eui-joo face one another to say goodbye, they agree to see each other again sometime. As they stand smiling, rainfall starts to descend, dissipating the last of the white gas from the city.

The film opens with the disappearance of a noted Mumbai physician Dr Anil Asthana. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Shekhawat ( Atul Kulkarni) assures his wife, Suman, that they are doing all they can but she is dismissive, this assurance, like the others before it, is empty. Suman, also a psychiatrist doctor, returns to her hospital. There is a new patient, a 10 year old boy, who suffers from convulsions but whose reports are perfectly normal. Suman is about to discharge the boy but his parents beseech her to examine him; the boy had specifically asked for her after his last bout of convulsions. Suman interviews the boy. He looks at her balefully and says he knows everything. He says that the missing Dr Asthana is dead and the body is in the woods outside Lonavla. Shekhawat is called and the body is found exactly where the boy had said. Upon questioning by Shekhawat, the boy alludes to a ‘woman whose anklets sounded so sweet’ and Shekhawat recoils in horror. It is revealed that Shekhawat had a lover (with sweet sounding anklets) in Benares. She became pregnant, there was an argument and Shekhawat, who could not risk his own marriage, strangled her and buried her body in Benares. She returned as a ghost and began chasing Shekhawat. Shekhawat sought the advice of a spiritual master, Dinkar, who prepared a charmed talisman; as long as Shekhawat wore the talisman the ghost could not harm him. Shekhawat sends a video of the convulsing boy to Dinkar. Dinkar says the boy is possessed and Shekhawat, though protected by the talisman, should stay away from the boy. Shekhawat begins his investigations. The boy and his parents were in room 706 of a hotel on a night when another youth leaped to his death from the roof of the same hotel. The hotel security cameras show Suman visiting the hotel. Suman denies this. Shekhawat asks why she hurried to meet him when he mentioned the hotel. She admits she was indeed there. The youth was her patient. His lover had left him to marry an NRI overseas. The youth became suicidal. Suman had prescribed sedatives. On the night of his death Suman had gone to check on him but she had been too late; he had jumped to his death. Shekhawat tells Suman that the ghost of the youth has possessed the boy. Suman dismisses the idea. Shekhawat sighs. He is not an impressionable ignoramus. He was an engineer before he joined the police, he is a fierce rationalist, but his own experiences with his lover ghost have made him aware of the other world. Suman is not convinced. Shekhawat visits his spiritual master Dinkar in Benares. Dinkar confirms that it is indeed the ghost of the youth inside the boy, it wants revenge against Suman. The youth ghost is working with the lover’s ghost, they want to destroy Shekhawat and Suman. What can be done, asks Shekhawat. Dinkar says there are two options: get the youth’s ghost to leave the boy or kill the boy. Dinkar says the youth is set upon revenge and will not leave the boy so the latter is the only option. Shekhawat returns to Mumbai and discusses the options with Suman. The boy must be killed. Suman reveals that she had taken the youth as her lover but had tired of him and broken it off. He continued pursuing her so she gave him an overdose of an anti depressive which caused an emotional rush that led him to kill himself. She killed her own husband with similar over-medication to escape her dreary marriage. Suman defiantly refuses to kill the boy. Shekhawat gives her the evening to think it over. In the morning, having worked out there is no other way, she agrees. She asks for protection; Shekhawat gives her the talisman. She calls in the parents of the boy and explains that she needs their consent to perform a deep psychological experiment on the boy in the room (706) where the trauma had begun. They agree. She brings the boy, sedated, to the room in the hotel. She now speaks to the ghost of the youth. She will go to him, he will leave the boy. She kills herself and the ghost leaves the boy and Shekhawat comes, now vulnerable without his talisman, returns home where the ghost of his lover is waiting for him as the film ends.

The film begins in Leningrad shortly after the conclusion of the Second World War and focuses on two women, Iya Sergueeva, a tall blonde woman nicknamed "Beanpole" (Дылда)(played by Viktoria Miroshnichenko) and Masha (played by Vasilisa Perelygina). The film begins with Iya suffering from a PTSD episode in which she involuntarily freezes up while working as a nurse in a hospital under Dr. Nikolay Ivanovich (Andrey Bykov). Iya is caring for her son Pashka in a Communal apartment but accidentally smothers him to death when she suffers another episode while playing with him. Shortly afterwards Masha returns from the front and reveals that Pashka was not actually Iya's child, but Masha's. Masha had given birth to Pashka while at war, and had given him to Iya for safekeeping while she was away. Masha asks to see Pashka but correctly guesses that Pashka is dead through Iya's quiet distress. Bitter yet seemingly unfazed, Masha invites Iya out dancing, though they soon find that the dance hall is closed due to the war. Sasha, the young son of a wealthy local official and his friend noticed the girls and introduce themselves, eventually drinking and talking in Sasha's car. Masha orders Iya out of the car to go on a "walk" with Sasha's friend so Masha can have sex with Sasha in the back seat. Iya attacks Sasha's friend when he attempts to seduce her, and beats Sasha over the head when she finds him having sex with Masha. The next day, Iya notices Masha's Hysterectomy scar and Masha tells her that she wanted to have sex with Sasha, and that she wants to have a child to heal her. Masha soon applies to work at the same hospital as Iya, revealing to Dr. Ivanovich that she and Iya served together in an anti-aircraft gun crew but Iya was eventually discharged after suffering a traumatic head wound, while Masha continued serving in the army "to Berlin". Shortly afterwards, the wife of a paralyzed WW2 soldier, Stepan (played by Konstantin Balakirev) arrives at the hospital to find her husband alive, despite having already told her children that he had been killed in the war. Stepan cannot bear the idea of returning to his children as a Quadriplegic and, alongside his wife, begs Dr. Ivanovich to euthanize him instead. Dr. Ivanovich is at first extremely opposed to the idea, but eventually relents, asking Iya to do the job. Iya hesitantly agrees and during one night injects Stepan with a fatal dosage of Morphine, smoking a cigarette for him and blowing it into his mouth until he dies. Masha, on night watch and suffering from Chronic fatigue due to the war, laid down to rest in a nearby cot shortly beforehand and watches Iya and Stepan. Masha uses this case of illegal euthanasia as Blackmail against both Iya and Dr. Ivanovich, and devises a plan in which Iya will be impregnated by Dr. Ivanovich, with Masha raising the child as her own, in a warped Surrogacy agreement. When Iya initially refuses, Masha reminds her that she is "owed" a child from Iya after she let Pashka die in her care. Dr. Ivanovich, fearing for his career, also agrees, and the two have sex next to Masha in bed. Masha continues to see Sasha afterwards, frustrating Iya, who seems to have feelings for Masha. Iya soon finds out that she is not actually pregnant, and instead just had a late period, but she neglects to tell Masha. While trying on a dress for their seamstress neighbor, Masha begin to twirl repeatedly while suffering a mental breakdown. Iya calms Masha by kissing her. Masha initially fights her off but Iya suffers another paralytic episode, during which Masha kisses her in return. Later, after an argument in which Iya orders Sasha to stop coming to their apartment with food, Sasha invites Masha to meet his parents. Iya, distraught, walks to Dr. Ivanovich's house and tearfully begs him to sleep with her to successfully impregnate her. Dr. Ivanovich turns down her advances, but invites her to come with him and leave the city. Masha visits Sasha's parents at their large estate, but receives a cold response by his parents, who seem to judge her for serving in the Red Army, considering her an "army base wife" (Походно-полевая жена). Masha reveals the truth of her time in the war, saying that she did what he had to do to survive, sleeping with soldiers capable of providing for her and protecting her from others. Masha reveals that her abdominal scar was not caused by a combat injury as she first described, but from a number of abortions she had on the front lines. She asserts that she loves Sasha, and will have a child, given to her from Iya. Sasha's mom responds with respect and admiration for Masha's time in the war, and says that she does not dislike Masha, but instead fears she will be treated badly by Sasha, who has known only their wealthy lifestyle and would quickly grow bored and eventually discard her. Sasha, enraged, storms out of the room and Masha rides the tram home alone. On the way home, Masha's tram hits and kills a tall blonde woman on the street. Masha pushes through the crowd but is unable to recognize the woman mangled underneath the tram. Fearing the worst, Masha runs home only to find Iya sitting alone in the apartment. Masha promises Iya that Sasha is gone, and that they will have a good life and raise a healthy child together. The two weep together in an embrace as the film ends.

Alice Woodard (Emily Beecham) is a plant breeder who works in a lab that focuses on creating new strains of flowers. While her colleague Bella (Kerry Fox) is failing at creating a hardy plant that will survive even weeks of undernourishment and neglect, Alice and her team have successfully created a flower that requires more care than an ordinary plant but which makes their owners happy. Alice decides to name the plants "Little Joe" in honour of her son and smuggles out one of the plants for him. The Little Joes begin to aggressively pollinate, which Alice theorizes is because she has made them sterile. The same day Bella's dog, Bello, goes missing. Chris (Ben Whishaw) goes looking for him and accidentally inhales some of the pollen. Later on he takes Alice out and despite her obvious reluctance attempts to kiss her twice. The following day Bella finds Bello in the lab. He attacks her and she insists that he has changed. Chris later tells Alice that Bella is mentally ill and had previously attempted suicide before being forced on a year-long sabbatical, returning only shortly before Alice began working at the lab. Alice later learns that Bella had Bello put down. Bella tells Alice that the changes to Bello were due to the plant. Alice's son is accidentally pollinated by the plant and begins to act strangely, sneaking his classmate Selma into the lab and stealing a Little Joe. He later tells Alice that he is considering moving in with his father, Ivan. Bothered by her son's behaviour, Alice begins to examine test footage of subjects who have been exposed to the pollen. In every case their family members report that they are acting strangely and have seemed to change since the pollen test. However, just as Alice begins to believe Bella's suspicions, Bella is exposed to the pollen herself and dismisses her previous beliefs as paranoia due to her mental issues. Joe reveals that he and Selma stole the plant in order to pollinate Ivan, confirming Alice's suspicions that her plant carries a virus, especially as she has used unorthodox methods to create Little Joe. However, this turns out to be a joke as Chris previously talked to Joe about Alice's concerns. At work Bella reveals that she never inhaled the pollen and was only pretending to be happy in order to blend in with the others; she later tries to commit suicide. After Alice's boss dismisses her concerns she takes matters into her own hands and decides to kill the Little Joes before they are commercialized, lowering the temperature in the lab. She is stopped by Chris, who, in trying to prevent her from harming the plants, knocks her out on the floor of the lab, exposing her to the plant pollen. Later Alice learns that Little Joe has been nominated for an award, meaning that the plant will be sold worldwide. When Chris apologizes for hitting her she kisses him, and later dismisses her concerns as paranoia. She allows Joe to move in with his father and starts a new, happier life with her own Little Joe.

The film begins with images of the crowd in Paris celebrating the victory of the French team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, which had been perceived and celebrated in France as a moment of brotherhood between people of different social classes or ethnicities. Soon after, Stéphane Ruiz, a police officer who recently moved to Paris and joined the anti-crime brigade, is assigned to work with squad leader Chris and brigadier Gwada on duty in the nearby city of Montfermeil. Chris often aggressively abuses his power on teenagers, with Gwada complacent with that abuse; while he feels unease, Stéphane doesn't interfere. Meanwhile, Issa, a known juvenile delinquent, steals Johnny, a lion cub, from a circus, causing its owner Zorro to go to a man known as "the Mayor" and threaten to return with firearms if Johnny is not returned. Chris and his squadron are tasked with finding and retrieving the cub. One of Issa's friends takes a picture of Issa with the cub and posts it on Instagram, leading Chris to find out that Issa is the culprit. They chase, capture and handcuff him, but he claims that the cub had run away. Issa's friends then attack the three officers, throwing things at them to stop them from taking Issa in. When Issa tries to run away, Gwada, having accidentally teargassed himself during the chase, shoots him in the face with a flash-ball. Issa's friends scatter, but the squadron realize that they have been filmed by a drone, which escapes. While Stéphane wants to take a badly wounded Issa to a hospital, Chris and Gwada refuse, and instead the trio take him with them in their search for the drone's owner. The trio arrive at a local neighborhood contact of Chris, leaving Issa in their care and using information given to them by that contact to find Buzz, the teenager the drone belongs to, forcing him to flee before he can upload the video. Buzz, who still carries the drone's memory card, escapes the squadron and takes shelter with Salah, a restaurant owner and key member of the local Islamic community. Both the squadron and the Mayor, having found out, arrive at Salah's restaurant. After a tense confrontation during which Chris attempts to illegally arrest Buzz, Ruiz convinces Salah to give him the memory card, claiming that Issa's shooting was just an accident. After recovering Issa and the cub (which happened to be spotted near them), the squadron takes the two to the circus. Although Issa is made to apologize, Zorro attempts to lock him as well as the cub inside a cage with a fully grown lion, scaring Issa into wetting himself and almost making Stéphane shoot the lion, until Issa is eventually let go. Deciding that Issa has learned his lesson, Chris drops him off and warns him not to tell anyone what happened, and, if asked about his injury, to say that he slipped and fell. In the evening, the characters involved in that day's event seemingly return to their normal lives, some with visible signs of distress and doubt. Issa, who had been told earlier that his father did not want him back home because of his behavior, sits alone on a ruined couch, traumatized. Later that night, Ruiz meets Gwada in a bar and tells him that he knows that a flash-ball cannot be fired by accident, and that Gwada had therefore intentionally shot Issa. Gwada blames his stress and the children for overwhelming him, and Stéphane, while unconvinced, leaves Gwada with the card, telling him to "do what you gotta do". The next day, the squadron, while on patrol, get attacked by a small group led by Issa. They chase them, falling into Issa's trap and ending up assaulted by a much larger group of teenagers, leaving them trapped from all sides in a stairwell and fighting for their lives. Chris is wounded when a bottle breaks on his face, and the backup car Stéphane radios for gets immediately destroyed by the teenagers, forcing the backup policemen to flee. They also attack the Mayor's office, and end up clubbing him and throwing him down a set of stairs. Stéphane pounds on the nearest door, begging for help, which happens to be the door to Buzz's apartment; however, Buzz further locks the door. Issa lights a molotov cocktail and prepares to finish the squadron off with it, leading Stéphane to point his gun at him and warn him not to. The screen fades to black as both Issa and Stéphane try to decide what to do next, and a quote from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables appears: "Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators."

In the near future, the people of Bacurau, a fictional settlement in the also fictional municipality of Serra Verde, in western Pernambuco, witness a series of unusual events, including telephone signals going down, the settlement unexplainably disappearing from online maps, flying saucer-shaped drones chasing travelers and a couple of motor bikers from Rio de Janeiro passing by. This all happens after the death of Carmelita, a matriarch of the village, and villagers and other relatives have gathered for her funeral. During this time we learn there is a dispute over water rights from the local river, with water being dammed upstream in a collusion of which the mayor of Serra Verde, Tony Junior (Thardelly Lima), is a part. He visits Bacurau in his re-election campaign and is clearly despised by the people of the village. In the meantime, the villagers are forced to have water delivered by truck from a source farther upstream. One of the curious goings-on is that the truck is shot at, resulting in multiple leaks. When dozens of horses show up in town, two men are sent to investigate the nearby farm from where they presumably escaped and find out the whole family murdered. As the two men leave the property, they are executed by the couple on the motor bikes. This couple rendezvous with a group of foreigners led by Michael (Udo Kier) and are reprehended for killing the two men, since killing will allow the foreigners to score "points". After receiving unheard instructions through earpieces, the foreigners execute the motor-bike couple and argue over who did the killing and is entitled to more points. As the death toll rises and a 9-year-old boy is slaughtered in cold blood, Pacote (Thomas Aquino) deduces the town will be attacked and leads efforts to prepare the people to defend themselves. When the foreigners arrive, they are all killed by the locals, except for Michael, who ends up captured. Soon after the battle, Tony Junior, already persona non grata in Bacurau, comes to town and Michael calls his name; Tony denies knowing him. The mayor is sent away half-naked and tied up to a donkey while Michael is buried alive in an underground cell while shouting that "this is only the beginning".

At the end of the eighteenth century, Marianne, a painter, is teaching an art class in France. One of her students asks her about a painting of hers, which Marianne calls Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. Years previously, Marianne arrives on a distant island in Brittany. She has been commissioned to paint a portrait of a young woman named Héloïse, who is to be married off to a Milanese nobleman. Marianne is informed that Héloïse has previously refused to pose for portraits, as she does not want to be married; she had been living in a convent before the suicide of her older sister necessitated her return and her betrothal. Marianne acts as Héloïse's hired companion to be able to paint her in secret, and accompanies her on daily walks along the rugged coastline to memorize Héloïse's features. Marianne finishes the portrait, but finds herself unable to betray Héloïse's trust and reveals her true reason for arriving. After Héloïse criticises the painting, which does not seem to portray her true nature, Marianne destroys the work. Héloïse's mother is shocked to hear that Héloïse is willing to pose for Marianne over the next few days, while her mother will be away on the mainland. Héloïse and Marianne's bond grows during the mother's absence. One evening, they read the story of Orpheus and Eurydice and debate the true reason why Orpheus turns around to look at his wife, causing her to be returned to the underworld. The pair help Sophie, a maid, have an abortion, and the three go to a bonfire gathering where women sing, during which Héloïse's dress briefly catches fire. Meanwhile, Marianne is haunted throughout the house by visions of Héloïse in a wedding dress. The next day, Marianne and Héloïse go to a cave and share their first kiss and make love later that night. Over the next few days, their romance grows stronger. However, it is cut short by the inevitable return of Héloïse's mother, who approves of the now completed portrait. The evening before her departure, Marianne sketches a drawing of Héloïse to remember her, and Héloïse asks Marianne to draw a sketch of herself on page 28 of her book. The next morning Marianne bids farewell, and as she is about to leave the house she hears Héloïse say, "Turn around". She turns and sees Héloïse in her wedding dress, appearing exactly as she did in the visions that haunted Marianne earlier. In the present, Marianne reveals that she saw Héloïse twice again. The first time was in the form of a portrait at an art exhibition where Héloïse, with a child beside her, is holding a book showing only page number 28secretly acknowledging the memory of Marianne through the memento that Héloïse requested from her. The second time was at a concert in Milan where Héloïse sat in a theater balcony across from Marianne. Unobserved, Marianne watches Héloïse as she becomes overwhelmed with emotion and comes to tears while listening to the orchestra play the Presto from "Storm" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, the music that Marianne had played for her on a harpsichord years before.

While in Rome visiting his sister Hayley, Jack tries to muster up the courage to kiss Dina, an American war correspondent and Hayley's roommate, before returning to London. However, they are interrupted by Greg, Jack's dorm roommate from university, who offers Jack a ride to the airport. After Jack and Dina awkwardly say their goodbyes, a frustrated Jack leaves with Greg. Three years later, Jack is at Hayley's wedding. Bryan, an aspiring actor and the "maid of honour", is more concerned about impressing Italian film director Vitelli than assisting the bride. Amanda, Jack's "nightmare of an ex- girlfriend", has come to the wedding with her boyfriend Chaz, with whom she has clear commitment issues. Other guests include clingy Rebecca and socially inept Sidney. Since their parents are dead, Hayley has asked Jack to walk her down the aisle. Just as they are about to, Hayley informs Jack that Dina has come to the wedding and is newly single. After the ceremony, Jack and Dina meet for the first time in three years. The two admit that they used to ask Hayley about one another. Marc, Hayley's former school classmate, arrives uninvited while high on cocaine, confessing his love for Hayley. She demands that Marc leave, before her husband Roberto shows up and invites Marc to stay for the celebrations. Hayley asks Jack to drug Marc with her sleeping drops and he reluctantly agrees. Shortly after Jack places the drops into Marc's empty champagne glass, a group of children playfully rearrange the seating order. The narrator comments on the many variations eight people can sit at a table. Following the rearrangement, the drugged glass ends up with Bryan, who quickly drinks it all. Jack arrives at the table and switches glasses, unaware that Bryan had already ingested the drops. While Jack and Dina reconnect, Marc blackmails Hayley by threatening to tell Roberto they had sex three weeks earlier. Hayley once again asks Jack to handle him, so Jack and Sidney lock Marc in a cupboard. A sedated Bryan mumbles through his maid-of-honour speech, before destroying the cake. After a guest releases Marc from the cupboard, he grabs the microphone and exposes his affair with Hayley in front of all the guests. Upset, Roberto walks out on Hayley, but when she tries to stop him, he accidentally falls over a balcony. The scene freezes as the narrator reminds the audience of how the wedding can be affected by endless seating arrangements. In fast-forward, the film depicts a number of alternate scenarios where different guests are drugged each time, all ending in mayhem. In the last scenario, Jack is finally sat beside Dina, though he is the one that ends up drugged. Unable to regurgitate the sedative, Jack asks Bryan to put his fingers down his throat. Dina walks in on the two, much to Jack's embarrassment. They try to move past it back at the table, but as Dina tearfully opens up about her mother's death, Jack struggles to stay awake, upsetting her. Things soon being to look up for Jack and the other guests. Rebecca confesses that she likes Bryan for himself, not who he pretends to be, and the two hook up. Bryan gives a successful speech that impresses Vitelli. Following a conversation with Jack, Marc decides against exposing the affair. Instead, he wishes Hayley and Roberto the best and leaves. Amanda and Chaz realise they are not right for each other and part amicably. Sidney hits it off with an equally awkward woman, thanks to Jack's advice.

Sophia earns her PhD for her thesis on Antonio Gramsci, but discovers a lack of teaching positions available in her field and is saddled with student debt. At age 35, she lives rent-free with her brother Karim and leads tours at a local art gallery. Pregnant, Sophia seeks an abortion and she and Karim meet Eloïse, a doctor. Eloïse recognizes Karim as a man she met and slept with when she first moved to Montreal several years ago. Although Karim does not remember Eloïse, they agree to see each other again. After the abortion, Sophia tells Karim he should date a woman like Eloïse, but is turned off when he replies he will see Eloïse herself. Sophia loses her job at the gallery and decides to write a novel. She returns to Karim's apartment and speaks loudly about how she imagined Karim's date with Eloïse went, speculating Eloïse is frigid and shallow. Sophia is embarrassed to see Eloïse is in the apartment. Envious and concerned about Karim entering into an increasingly serious relationship, Sophia watches Eloïse as she interacts with Karim. Eloïse and Karim take Sophia to a dinner, and Eloïse also brings her best friend Jasmin, a male midwife. Concerned she has been lured into a double date, Sophia is offended when Jasmin says giving birth is the most important event of a woman's life; Sophia never wants to have children. Jasmin and Sophia share a taxi, and Jasmin asks to see her again, though Sophia is reluctant. Eloïse then joins Karim and Sophia in a dinner with their parents. There, Sophia engages in a heated argument over her family, saying the world is overpopulated (when Eloïse expresses a desire for children) and her eight years of education were for nothing. Sophia storms out and refuses to apologize. She leaves Karim's apartment for a room at Jasmin's apartment; she also accepts a job as a French-language tutor for immigrants in the suburbs. Jasmin and Sophia have sex; the next morning, Sophia rushes to her new job and struggles on where to begin. Sophia visits Eloïse in her office and tearfully apologizes for her behaviour at their last dinner. She confesses she had never seen her brother so happy. Eloïse replies by comparing the sibling relationship to atomic theory; since people are made up of atoms, they inherit their atoms from their parents, and she understands Karim and Sophia share a connection.

In 1986, Richard Jewell works as an office supply clerk in a small public law firm, where he builds a rapport with attorney Watson Bryant. Jewell leaves the firm to pursue a law enforcement career. At some point Jewell is hired as a sheriff's deputy, but ends up discharged. In early 1996, he's working as a security guard at Piedmont College, but is fired after multiple complaints of acting beyond his jurisdiction. Jewell later moves in with his mother Bobi in Atlanta. In the summer of 1996, he works as a security guard at the Olympic Games, monitoring Centennial Park. In the early morning of July 27, 1996, after chasing off drunken revelers during a Jack Mack and the Heart Attack concert, Jewell notices a suspicious package beneath a bench, which an explosives expert confirms contains a bomb. The security team, including police officers, FBI agent Tom Shaw, and Jewell's friend Dave Dutchess, are moving concert attendees away from the bomb when it detonates, and Jewell is initially heralded as a hero. After being contacted by the dean of Piedmont College about his dislike and suspicions of Jewell, at Atlanta's FBI office, Shaw and his team determine that Jewell, as a white, male, "wanna-be" police officer, fits the common profile of perpetrators committing similar crimes, comparing him to others who sought glory and attention by rescuing people from a dangerous situation they created themselves. Shaw is approached by journalist Kathy Scruggs of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Over drinks in a cop bar, Shaw reveals that Jewell is under FBI suspicion. The Constitution publishes Scruggs's story on the front page, disclosing the FBI's interest in Jewell as a possible suspect. Scruggs makes particular note of Jewell's physique, the fact he lives with his mother, and work history to reassure herself that he fits the FBI's profile. The story quickly becomes international news. Jewell, initially unaware of his changing public perception, is lured to the FBI office. He initially cooperates but refuses to sign an acknowledgement he has been read his Miranda rights, and instead phones Watson Bryant for legal representation. Bryant, now running his own struggling law firm, agrees and makes Jewell aware he is a prime suspect in the news. Shaw and partner Sam Bennet visit the dean of Piedmont College, who reinforces their suspicion of Jewell. The FBI searches Jewell's home and seize property including true crime books and a cache of firearms. Jewell admits to Bryant that he has been evading income taxes for years and was once arrested for exceeding his authority. Bryant scolds Jewell for being too collegial with the police officers investigating him. Jewell admits his ingrained respect for authority makes it difficult for him not to be deferential, even when the authorities are trying to do him harm. Jewell and Bryant confront Scruggs, demanding a retraction and apology, but she stands by her reporting. Still not completely convinced of Jewell's innocence, Bryant and his long-suffering secretary Nadya time the distance between the phone booth which was discovered to have made the initial threat of the bomb, and the bomb site, concluding it is impossible for someone to phone in the bomb threat and discover the bomb at the time it was found. Scruggs and Shaw come to the same conclusion, and the FBI changes their picture of the crime to include an accomplice. As their case weakens, the FBI try to link Dutchess to Jewell as a possible homosexual accomplice. Bryant arranges a polygraph examination which Jewell passes, removing Bryant's doubt about his innocence. Bobi holds a press conference and pleas for the investigation to cease so she and her son may get on with their lives. Jewell and Bryant meet with Shaw and Bennet at the FBI office, and after some irrelevant questions, Jewell realizes they have no evidence against him. When he asks pointedly if they are ready to charge him, their silence convinces him to leave, finally having lost his sense of awe for law enforcement officers. Eighty-eight days after being named "a person of interest", Jewell is informed by formal letter that he is no longer under investigation. In April 2005, Jewell, now a police officer in Luthersville, Georgia, is visited by Bryant who tells him that Eric Rudolph has confessed to the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. An epilogue states that two years later, on August 29, 2007, Jewell died at the age of 44 of complications from diabetes and heart failure. It also mentions that Bryant and Nadya got married and had two sons, both of whom Bobi babysits to this day.

Maude Flanders appears in a dream to Ned as a ghost. Ned cries and asks Todd if he ever dreams about his mother. Todd confesses he no longer remembers what she looks like. After watching Christmas tapes of their family in an attempt to jog his memories of Maude, Todd starts having doubts about Maude being in a better place. At church, Reverend Lovejoy invites the kids to say what they would want to say to baby Jesus if they could speak to him and Todd says he would angrily tell him thanks for nothing because his mom is dead and that he does not believe in God anymore, shocking everyone but Lisa Simpson, who gives Todd a thumbs-up. Ned is shocked to the core and reprimands his action, while Todd keeps questioning God's existence.

After seeing Bart trick Homer in staying outside in his underwear, Ned asks the Simpsons to look after Todd for a while and help him rediscover his beliefs in God. This proves futile.

This episode opens up with the Sterling Cooper creative team talking about an upcoming Aerospace convention Pete Campbell and Paul Kinsey will be attending in Los Angeles. Pete is naming off some of the big companies in attendance such as General Motors, General Electric, Ion Physics Corporation and Bell Telephone Laboratories, to name a few. Sterling Cooper wants to try and secure new and important clientele, and as Don says very bluntly, “ every scientist, engineer and General is trying to figure out a way to put a man on the moon, or blow up Moscow, whichever one costs more.” Trudy Campbell wants to accompany Pete to Los Angeles, but Pete denies her by saying “It will make me look less serious in the office. Maybe next time.” She then turns the conversation to her parents concern about them having trouble conceiving and begins to talk about adoption agencies, which causes Pete to become agitated. He exclaims “It’s someone else’s child. It’s not natural.” Betty Draper finds out that her father, Gene Hofstadt has had a stroke. She calls Don Draper at the hotel late that night and they make the trip to Betty's childhood home. After arriving, Betty finds out that Gene has had a few mini strokes before this most previous one, which Gloria Massey Hofstadt, Betty's stepmother, has neglected to tell her. Due to his stroke and Betty's resemblance to her late mother, Ruth, her father mistakes her for his late first wife and forgets his daughter's true identity. Betty's brother, William Hofstadt makes her feel guilty that she lives so far away. We also see Don's relationship with his father-in-law. Gene seems very upset with Don while they are sitting at the table putting a puzzle together. His temper flares and he tells Betty “He has no people! You can’t trust a man like that!" This makes her feel even more left out there, just like she's left out of Don's life. With insight into Betty and William's home life, Gene seems like the authoritarian in the family, though he clearly adores Betty like she adores him. Since Betty understands having a strict father figure, she wishes Don would be that figure in her family as well. When the longtime housekeeper of the Hofstadt family, Viola, comes to help around the house during Betty's stay, she crumbles back into somewhat of a little girl, exclaiming “I’m an orphan.” Next, we flash to the office, where Sheila White, Paul's girlfriend, joins him for lunch. We then find out that Paul had made a promise to join her in traveling to Mississippi, to help in the fight to register African American voters. Due to the Aerospace conversation, however, he is now unable to go which upsets her. She asks Paul “Are you scared?”, to which he rebuttals with “Don’t pretend this isn’t scary.” They then leave the office for lunch, where lift operator Hollis greets him as "Mr Kinsey,” as Hollis usually does. Kinsey, in front of Sheila, decidedly makes it a point of telling Hollis to call him Paul. This is despite never having acknowledged Kinsey on a “first name basis” prior to this. Pete is seen talking with his brother, Bud Campbell, about their mother's financial standings after their father's death. Pete agrees to go over to his mother's to sign papers regarding this matter. While there his mother, Dorothy “Dot” Campbell, begins to criticize Pete for him and Trudy's idea to adopt a baby by telling him that his father said it would be “picking from the discards” and if he chose to adopt, he would be cut off. It's at this point that Pete tells Bud to share the fact that their father spent all of the family's money, leaving their mother with virtually nothing. At Harry Crane's baby shower at the office is going on, Don tells Joan that he will be going to L.A. in place of Kinsey. Joan Holloway then tells Kinsey that Don will be taking his place for the Aerospace convention, embarrassing him in front of the whole office. He calls Sheila, saying that it was his choice not to go and that it was more important to go down to Mississippi and be by her side. Pete explains the thought of going on the plane to California and that it will be the first time he has flown since his father's plane crash to Peggy Olson. He makes sure to tell Peggy he isn't afraid but that "It seems significant, that’s all.” Peggy tells him that the statistical chance of multiple family members dying from a plane crash on different flights is highly unlikely. Pete confides that “It wouldn’t be the worst thing. I hate my mother. What do you think about that?” Peggy is in shock by this statement, and just exclaims she doesn't know the circumstances. Pete says that him and his brother didn't turn out the best so maybe having a child that wasn't his own would be the better option. Peggy, of course doesn't know Pete is talking about adopting a child, so Peggy just says he should go home. Pete comments “Everything is so easy for you” unaware that he is the father of Peggy's child. Peggy ends the conversation by saying “It isn’t easy for anyone Pete.” Next, we see Betty up in the middle of the night at the kitchen table. Polly starts growling at a noise coming from outside. Betty just locks the door and doesn't think anything of it. The next day she finds Glen Bishop in Sally's playhouse in the backyard. He says he has run away from home because his mother is never home and she is always out “making pamphlets and handing them out” or she's out with her male suitors. He also says his dad wants him and his sister to move in with him and his stepmom, and Glen confides that they have a child together and that his stepmom is mean. Betty invites Glen in, washes his clothes, and makes him lunch. She gives him one of Don's t-shirts to wear. After they eat lunch together they sit and watch TV. Glen reaches over and holds Betty's hand, which she doesn't pull away, even after Glen's weird attraction to her in a previous episode. Glen turns to her and says “I came to rescue you.” Since Glen had comic books in his runaway bag, she takes this as a joke, asking Glen ”Did you bring your cape?” He tells Betty this isn't a joke and "We can go anywhere. I have money.” Carla, the Draper's housekeeper, then comes home with the kids, Sally Draper and Robert Draper. Glen quickly lets go of Betty's hand and goes to play with Sally and Bobby. Betty calls Helen Bishop, Glen's mother, to let her know that Glen is there and when he picks him up, Glen tells her that she hates him and Betty simply and sadly answers “I know. I’m sorry.” Toward the end, we see Paul and Sheila on the van ride down to Mississippi. He claims that advertising can help bring on change. He says that “The market- and I’m talking in a purely Marxist sense- dictates that we must include everyone. The consumer has no color.” Helen, Glen's mom and the neighborhood's divorcee, pays Betty a visit claiming that these incidents with Glen have to stop. With this statement she implies that Betty is letting them happen. Betty says nothing has happened but says “Glen feels alone. Honestly I don’t blame him.” After asking if Glen had directly said anything to her, Betty replies “nothing, but it’s obvious.” Helen explains that with her husband out of the picture, she thought things would be easier but says she's been a terrible mother. Betty then tells Helen that Don is no longer living at home. After being asked a few questions from Helen, Betty tells her that the kids go out to dinner with them and that she isn't sure if it's really over or if she wants their marriage to be over. She says “Sometimes I feel like I’ll float away if Don isn’t holding me down.” Helen explains “The hardest part is realizing you’re in charge.” We finish out the episode with Pete and Don on the plane to California, the flight attendant explaining the easy flight ahead of them. We see Pete with his sleep mask over his eyes and Don peering out the window, taking a long drag of his cigarette.

In the wake of his wife Theresa's mastectomy, Nathan Gardner moves his family, including children Lavinia, Benny, and Jack, to his late father's farm. One night, a brilliantly glowing meteor crash-lands in their front yard, briefly traumatizing Jack. The next morning, hydrologist Ward Phillips, who is surveying the area for a dam development, along with the mayor and the sheriff of the nearby town of Arkham, arrive to see the meteor. The mayor decides to publicize the meteor, against Nathan's wishes. That night, Nathan and Lavinia witness the meteor being struck by several bolts of lightning. Ward notices that the groundwater has taken on an oily sheen and tests it. When his test strips begin to glow brightly with the Color, he advises the Gardners not to drink it. While notifying nearby resident Ezra of the contamination, he is shown a recording of sounds of unknown origin sounding beneath Ezra's house at night. Meanwhile, Jack becomes fixated on the property's well, observing strange plant growths and insects, as well as claiming to communicate with a 'friend' inside the well. A news crew arrives to interview Nathan about the meteor, but finds that it has vanished, leaving the story uncredible. Later, while Theresa is preparing dinner, she absentmindedly cuts off two of her fingers. As Nathan rushes her to the hospital, he leaves Benny in charge. On Nathan's request, Benny goes outside to put the farm's alpacas back in their stables, but does not return until late at night, claiming time had passed instantaneously for him. Meanwhile, Lavinia attempts multiple times to contact Nathan, but they are unable to hear each other through the phone. Upon the parents' return, Nathan lashes out at Benny and Lavinia with uncharacteristic rage. Later, Nathan becomes frustrated after finding that his most recent harvest of fruits has proven inedible, and Theresa snaps after losing a work client due to the faltering Internet connection, bringing the two to a fight. The same night, Lavinia tries to perform a Wiccan ceremony to save her family, mutilating herself in the process. Theresa suddenly hears Jack and Benny screaming after entering the alpaca stables and rushes to their aid, but in the process, a bolt of Color fuses Theresa and Jack together into a deranged mass. Unable to start the car or call for help as all electronic devices have stopped functioning, and upon discovering sunlight harms Theresa and Jack, Nathan and the children carry them into the attic. Benny reveals that he had witnessed the alpacas after a horrible mutation due to the Color. Nathan decides to euthanize the alpacas with a shotgun after finding they have similarly fused together. Beginning to lose his sanity, Nathan also attempts to euthanize Theresa and Jack but is unable to bring himself to. Lavinia and Benny conspire to leave the farm using Lavinia's horse, but it runs from the property. Before returning inside, Benny insists he hears the family's dog inside the well, but upon climbing in, he is assimilated by the Color. Nathan displays more uncharacteristic rage and locks Lavinia in the attic with Theresa and Jack, who have turned into an aggressive mutated monster. Ward and the sheriff are brought to the farm after a nearby resident discovers a fused mass of animals, and arrive just in time to break into the attic. Nathan shoots and kills the monster, saving Lavinia. After rushing outside, Nathan attempts to shoot the Color emerging from the well, but the sheriff mistakes Nathan's aim for Ward and shoots him, who dies in Lavinia's arms. Ward and the sheriff leave to evacuate Ezra, and Lavinia insists on staying with Nathan. At Ezra's house, the pair only find his desiccated corpse and a recording he left behind, where he surmises that the Color is attempting to remake Earth into "something it knows." Heading back towards the farmhouse, a mutated living tree kills the sheriff. Ward returns to rescue Lavinia, but finds her possessed by the Color, which explodes out of the well and forms a funnel into the sky. Ward is shown a vision of where the Color hails from, an exoplanet inhabited by tentacled alien entities, before Lavinia disintegrates. As space and time begin to unravel, Ward enters the farmhouse and is pursued by a murderous apparition of Nathan. He hides in the wine cellar as the Color's distortion of reality drives the property to destruction, leaving Ward the only survivor as he climbs out of the farmhouse's colorless debris. In an epilogue, a traumatized Ward stands on top of the finished dam which covers the former property, and narrates that having witnessed the Color's takeover, he will never drink the dam's water.

A frustrated Marissa tells Kyle that Mike is a negative influence on his life and that he needs to cut him out from it. When Marissa goes to bed early, Kyle joins her in the hopes of having sex, but he quickly passes out before she returns from the bathroom. She then goes down to confront Mike about his behavior, and he attempts to kiss her. Though disgusted, she physically pressures him into following through with his advances, convinced that it will finally convince Kyle to break off their friendship for good. Mike and Marissa's brother Ronnie plan a surprise ice-fishing bachelor party for Kyle before his impending wedding with Marissa. When Kyle momentarily steps away from the party, Mike approaches him and admits that he slept with Marissa. Kyle, angered once again, surprises Mike by saying that he no longer cares and simply wants to spend his life with someone who cares for him. Mike responds that Marissa doesn't actually care for Kyle as he is and wants to turn him into something she wants him to be, suggesting that he leaves her. At some point, Kyle breaks through a thin patch of ice in the frozen lake, though Mike manages to pull him out. Kyle has since cut all ties with Mike, who is lonelier than ever. On the day of Kyle and Marissa's wedding, Mike crashes the ceremony and objects to their union, instigating a small brawl in the church between him and members of both Kyle and Marissa's families. During the confrontation, Marissa loudly declares that she's pregnant and that she's adamant about getting married. Upon learning this, the priest refuses to wed them over concerns that their child is pressuring them into a potentially doomed marriage and advises them to wait until after the child is born. About a year later, Mike is now working at a bicycle shop/café, where a now-married Kyle and Marissa visit him with their newly-born son, the former of whom still misses Mike. Several years later, Kyle and Marissa decide to divorce, presumably over Kyle's seeming refusal to remove Mike from his life. Kyle lives close to Marissa to stay in touch with their son and maintains his friendship with Mike, whom Kyle's son affectionately refers to as his “uncle.”

The realtor Ella unsuccessfully tries to sell an apartment in the Seven Sisters in Moscow, since the real Domovoy lives in it, who painstakingly survives any tenants from it, arranging them with various kinds of tricks a la poltergeist (people are unable to see or touch Domovoy himself). Because of this, the apartment has not been repaired for a long time and therefore the price for it is much lower than the market. In the end, she manages to find a potential buyer this is a divorced single mother Vika with her 8-year-old daughter Alina. Before the arrival of Vika and Alina, Ella invites the clairvoyant Fima to the apartment to drive Domovoy away. Fima succeeds: with the help of her magic rituals, she throws him out of the house. However, at some point, she has a vision in which she sees that somewhere under the floor in the apartment is hidden a box of jewels. Since the apartment is about to leave Vika and it will no longer be possible to penetrate it, Fima, leaving, again performs a ritual, thanks to which Domovoy returns to the apartment and begins to commit atrocities. In the end, Ella, threatening to put only inveterate marginals into the apartment from now on, sets Domovoy a condition: he will allow Vika to buy an apartment (because every time Ella receives the interest due from the apartment), and then she can safely drive her away, and in return for Ella, for a whole year will leave the apartment alone. Domovoy agrees, after which he applies his magic to the frightened Vika and Alina, who calm down and agree to the deal. Attempts to survive Vika with her daughter, Domovoy takes immediately. But Vika is not ready to lose the apartment: after learning from Raisa’s neighbor about Domovoy and about the previous tenants, she begins to invite psychics and shamans to the house. And the more she resists Domovoy, the more he shows zeal in his mischief. Alina, on the contrary, is trying to make friends with Domovoy, and at some point he even penetrates her with tender feelings, but at the same time is not going to stop. This leads to the fact that Vika is first fired from work (after Domovoy’s leprosy brought her boss to hospitalization), and then she accidentally gets an electric shock and she goes to the hospital. After this, Domovoy has a conversation with the cat of Alina and Vika (who can see Domovoy and communicate with him). It turns out that Domovoy has been living in this apartment since the construction of the house and got along very well with the first family of new settlers. But after some time this family moved, and Domovoy was forced to stay, because the Domovoy’s can change their place of residence only if they receive an invitation. He tried to make friends with the following new residents, but each new family turned out to be worse than the previous one, because there was neither love nor kindness in them. At some point, Domovoy discovered that the negative environment around him was projecting his own perception of this onto the apartment itself - the walls began to mold and crumble. Wishing to prevent the apartment from collapsing, Domovoy eventually decided to survive all the new tenants. The cat Kuzya then advises Domovoy to make peace with Vika anyway, because she and Alina, in fact, are exactly who he needs: Vika resisted Domovoy primarily in order to secure Alina. Kuzya also claims that if he still survives Vika and Alina, then new owners will come after them, with whom Domovoy will again have a war and everything will be repeated indefinitely. Then Domovoy agrees. Taking advantage of Vika's hospitalization, Fima and her son Stas enter The apartment (here Domovoy explains to Kuzya that the jewelry they are looking for remained from one of the previous residents who was buying up stolen goods). Vika and Alina return home inopportunely. Despite the magic that Fima exposes Domovoy, he still manages to give her and Stas a powerful rebuff and throw them out of the apartment. Alina at some point, fleeing from Stas crawls out the window and falls from the ledge, but Domovoy manages to throw her in the window located on the floor below the apartment where the young guy Andrey lives, who then begins an affair with Vika. In the finals, Vika apologizes to Domovoy, offers to make peace, and then shows that she now knows what he looks like: their neighbor Valentina has a hobby to photograph all the former tenants of the apartment at the moment they leave her, and in the photograph he took that the moment when Alina and Vika ran out of the apartment (this happened on the first night after they moved in) Domovoy was somehow imprinted. Vika invites Domovoy to become a full member of their family.

In 1972, Major Kendall Laird (John Lithgow) as a Survivors Assistance officer, is charged with helping the families of soldiers killed in action for as long as he may be needed. He is escorting the remains of Dwight Johnson, an Army Lieutenant, for delivering them to his parents Luther (Morgan Freeman) and Ada (CCH Pounder) at Rockville, Georgia, which he estimates will be a short duty, and one in which he will have nothing really helpful to do. The funeral is prevented from taking place because, despite desegregation being legally in effect since years ago, the town still is deeply segregationist, and its authorities refuse the deceased to be interred in the local "for caucasians only" cemetery. They propose Lt. Johnson's burial to take place in the cemetery for Blacks located in the outskirts of the town, notwithstanding his unit has recommended him for the Silver Star. The Lieutenant's parents refuse to give in, and they are willing to have his son's body kept in their church's safeguard until the town and cemetery's authorities change their minds. Major Laird searches for a way to break the impasse with the help of Eudora McCallister (Frances Sternhagen), the lady who sold the Johnsons a plot of her property in the cemetery, and the local newspaper's editor Sam Jennings (G. D. Spradlin). This one suggests that telling the Lieutenant's story would effect a change, so the Major starts an informal quest for biographical data. His first interviews with family and acquaintances reveal the young Lt. Johnson was an extraordinary man, but the interviews with the soldiers of his unit suggest there was something wrong in the way the Lieutenant was killed, given that in their telling of the events they keep repeating the same words as if rehearsed, and one of them plainly refuses to talk without legal counsel. After many attempts and trying several approaches, Major Laird has to draw upon his own dormant self-assurance and authority to force the soldiers to reveal what happened exactly. The death of the Lieutenant resulted from his unit ultimately mistrusting his command abilities because of his race, and their recommendation for the decoration came from their guilt, as the lieutenant died saving their lives. Finally, as the story comes to light, Lieutenant Dwight Johnson gets the funeral with full military honors he deserved as a decorated war hero, in the grave his parents had chosen for him, not without a final confrontation with the recalcitrant local authorities.

She lives with her widowed father and performs most of his duties as station master and signalman. She is approached by Paul Munsky, an inarticulate football player, to write a love letter to Aster Flores, a girl at their school. Ellie is secretly in love with Aster and initially refuses, but accepts the work after learning that her home's electricity will be shut off if they fail to make a minimum payment. Aster is dating Trig, a boy from a wealthy family, and Ellie (posing as Paul) begins a heartfelt correspondence with Aster in letters and text messages. The two begin to connect over their shared interests in literature and art, though Aster believes she is communicating with Paul. Meanwhile, Ellie's English teacher encourages her to apply to Grinnell College, but Ellie plans to stay in Squahamish, despite being unhappy there, because she doesn't want to leave her father.

Paul realizes that Ellie loves Aster and, due to his religious upbringing, tells Ellie that it is a sin.

Before leaving for Grinnell, Ellie apologizes to Aster for deceiving her. Aster admits she may have had feelings for Ellie and that she is applying to art school.

Merab (Levan Gelbakhiani) is a young man and dedicated dancer training at the National Georgian Ensemble with his partner and pseudo-girlfriend, Mary (Ana Javakhishvili) and his deadbeat, delinquent brother David (Giorgi Tsereteli). One day, a rehearsal is interrupted by the arrival of Irakli (Bachi Valishvili), a replacement dancer. Though Irakli rankles some of the other dancers as well as the choreographer, Aleko (Kakha Gogidze) with his smug and rebellious attitude, he quickly proves himself to be a natural talent and replaces Merab in a dance, as Aleko had criticized him for not being masculine and rigid enough. Merab is initially jealous of Irakli's talent, as Irakli has been dancing for much less time than he has, but when the two start rehearsing together early in the morning, they begin to bond. A friendly rivalry forms as they compete for a coveted spot in the main ensemble, though Mary learns that the spot is vacant because the previous male dancer had been caught having sex with another man, leading him to be severely beaten by the other dancers and was forced to resort to prostitution to survive. Merab visits his father, who, with Merab's mother, used to be part of the dance ensemble. His father implores him to give up his passion and attend school, as there is no future in dance; furthermore, Aleko dislikes their family, and has been biased against him and David as a result. Meanwhile, Merab and Irakli become friends, and Merab grows increasingly attracted to him. On a trip with friends to visit Mary's father, Merab and Irakli succumb to their mutual attraction and have sex; though they remain discreet, Mary becomes suspicious of their closeness. Though the pair do not discuss their relationship, Merab performs a dance for Irakli in his own style as a means of communicating his feelings. After the group returns home, Irakli disappears, and Merab is unable to contact him. After several missed practices, David finally arrives to the rehearsal, only to be forcibly removed by Aleko due to David's criminal behavior. Merab secures a job for his brother at the restaurant where he works part-time, only for David to get them both fired for dealing drugs on the job, leading to a fight between him and Merab. Despondent and missing Irakli, Merab spontaneously befriends a young male prostitute and goes with him to a gay bar, and is seen leaving by another dancer, Luka. The next day, a hungover Merab performs poorly at practice and injures his ankle. While recovering with Mary, he finally receives a call from Irakli, who informs him that he is back in his hometown to take care of his ill father, and will probably not make the audition. Aleko discourages Merab from auditioning due to his behavior and injury, but Merab insists on continuing to practice. While leaving, he is heckled by Luka, and Mary implores him to be careful, as she does not want him to end up like the ensemble's former dancer. Merab learns that David is having a rushed wedding, as he has gotten a girl pregnant. At the wedding, Merab spots Irakli in the crowd. Though Merab is glad to see him, Irakli admits that he is leaving the city and giving up dancing; his father has died and he has gotten engaged to his girlfriend in order to be close to and provide for his mother. Heartbroken, Merab leaves the reception before breaking down in tears in a sympathetic Mary's arms. At home, he is comforted by David, who reveals he was injured defending Merab's honor from Luka and the other dancers; when Merab admits that he is actually gay, David accepts him and encourages him to get out of Georgia in order to reach his full potential. On the day of the audition, Mary shows up to support Merab. Merab dances passionately despite his healing ankle, but is nevertheless dismissed by the unimpressed director. Merab continues anyway, breaking away from the traditional dance to perform in his own unbridled, androgynous style; though the offended director storms out, Aleko stays to watch. After he is finished, Merab bows and departs.

In 2005, close friends Cal (Jai Courtney), Milk (Beau Knapp), Jaeger (Finn Wittrock), Snowball (Arturo Castro) and Oyster (Nat Wolff) bowl at Westside Lanes in Bridgewater, NY. Their nicknames are carved into their respective ball. After some roughhousing, an employee named Tony threatens to have them removed, but they show him Cal's badge--he is the police. Cal makes a deal with Tony to buy drinks for them all if Oyster can bowl 3 strikes--otherwise they'll leave. Oyster's third roll is a miss because he does it blindfolded, but with much laughter and joking, Tony doesn't throw them out. The camaraderie is palpable. In their day jobs, Cal, who's full name is Chris Callahan, is a police officer. Milk, who's last name is Milkowski, is a fire fighter at the Ernest J Cooper Memorial Fire Station. Jaeger is an auto body detailer. Snowball is a dockside crane operator. And Oyster, who is Cal's half-brother, works at a diner. Together, all five serve in the Marine Corps Reserve at Fort Drum, where Cal is their Staff Sergeant. Oyster picks fights, forgets his cap and is generally reckless during their time there, which earns him time cleaning toilets. The resentment between brothers builds. They're in training because they'll soon be called to active duty. At home, the brothers argue. Oyster has had prior felony convictions, and Cal reminds him that one more will land him back in prison. Oyster spouts his big dreams, which Cal feels are empty. Cal has pulled his life together, something he wishes Oyster would do. Their arguing turns into a scuffle, where Oyster accidentally gets hurt. Cal tries to make amends to his brother through a closed bedroom door as Oyster sulks and plucks his guitar. Late at night, the five friends meet up at Old Point Bar. They talk up two girls, Carrie and Val, to whom Cal shows them words tattooed on his forearms: Semper Fidelis. Cal and Jaeger spot Jaeger's ex- girlfriend, Clara, who's in town, but they're rebuffed by her when they go over to chat. Jaeger is rude. And Oyster wants $10 to buy drinks for Carrie and Val, but Cal won't do it. Cal, Milk and Jaeger head out into the night for a friendly race home after Cal warns Oyster not to get too drunk or violent. Oyster finally gets the money from another friend, Dwyer ("DJ"), but he's too late: he's been edged by out another guy, Ben Daley. Oyster shoves Ben aside and hands the drinks to the girls. When Oyster goes to use the restroom, Ben and a friend come in and pick a fight. Ben punches Oyster in the stomach twice before Oyster retaliates by hitting him in the head. Ben falls backward, hits his head hard on a porcelain urinal and lands on the floor. In a horrendous turn of events, Oyster's recklessness has finally had major consequences. On the floor lies a still Ben, with blood coming out of his ear as Oyster worriedly urges him to get up. At home studying Arabic in the quiet, Cal gets the call. He dresses hurriedly and races to the bar in his cruiser. His brother has fled the scene. Yelling Oyster's name back house, he finds the bedroom drawers empty. He finally spots his brother's Bronco at Snowball's apartment and calls it in. Despite Snowball's heated intervention and witness as to the true nature of the accident, Officer Callahan does his duty and forces Oyster out, calling him by his real name, Teddy. Scared and panicked beyond distraught, Oyster takes off. Callahan tackles him and places him in handcuffs as other officers arrive. As Oyster is being arrested, a senior officer arrives and announces that Ben - who was last seen bleeding from the ear - has died. Realizing this now means Oyster could go down for a murder, Cal is visibly distraught about apprehending his brother. While being placed in a squad car, Oyster shouts profanities at Callahan. Cal is grief stricken. Eight months later, Callahan, Snowball, Jaeger and Milk are on full active duty in the Mosul province of Iraq. They watch casualties climb from remote EID detonation, so they improvise with the use of a radio jammer to stop that. When their convoy heads out on patrol of the streets one night, however, one of their humvees is hit with an explosion. Jaeger's leg is horrifically injured. Callahan keeps Jaeger alert until medical staff can take over, then they raid nearby buildings and find a resident. With no interpreter, shouting in opposite languages escalate fast until it results in Callahan pulling the trigger and shooting the man dead. Callahan is aghast. Meanwhile, in Watertown, NY, Oyster has begun his 25 year sentence at Franklin Correctional Facility. Keeping a low profile, he's on cooking duty. Guards notice him sneaking apples into pancakes to add interest, so they invite him into the pantry to gain access to ingredients needed to make apple pies. It is a false pretense. With his back turned, three guards beat him mercilessly to the ground. With their tour of Iraq finished, Snowball, Jaeger and Milk happily return home to a town welcoming them all as heroes. But Callahan is sullen. No family to meet him. Jaeger's fiance′ has to drive him home. His brother is unjustly in prison. When he goes to visit him, Oyster doesn't want to see the brother who turned him in. Cal returns with Snowball to act as a mediator, but long burning rage simmers to the surface and escalates into a shouting match that even Snowball can't stop. All the old resentments between the two brothers spill out, including the fact that Cal long ago was made legal guardian of Oyster because there was no one else. Guards pull them apart, but not before Snowball notices bruising on Oyster's chest. Disheartened at the injustice of Oyster's lengthy sentence, Cal and Snowball start probing into legal ways to change things for the better. They petition for Oyster to be moved. They inquire into the abuse. The guards threaten Oyster to keep his mouth shut. Cal asks what if Dwyer were to change his testimony? Callahan uses his authority as a police office to question Dwyer at his home, which turns into a fight and resultant suspension of Callahan. Even Clara, who provides free legal service to veterans, can't seem to make any headway. They visit Jaeger at Walter Reed Medical Hospital in Maryland, where he's lost the lower third of his right leg. With Cal driving, the four head home. Finally together, Jaeger quietly voices his concerns as to Cal's mental state--as well as Oyster's well-being. Neither looks good. Sleepless nights and bouts of rage envelope Callahan. Nothing seems possible. They're horrified by the injustice of it all. Cal reasons that if he were to shoot someone at home like he did in Iraq, he'd be in prison for it. One night, after a visit to the VFW hall, Cal breaks down. Everything seems hopeless. His three friends remind him they need him. Then comes the breakthrough. One evening, Cal tells Snowball, Jaeger and Milk he's going to break Oyster out of prison and get him across the border into Canada. He's not asking for their advise; he's telling them. With a transfer to another facility in a few days, it is Cal's chance to free Oyster. Snowball and Jaeger join in. At first Milk is opposed, but he eventually joins in. As the plan comes together, their military expertise comes in to play. They'll transfer Oyster across the water into Canada at Snowball's place of work, where he's gotten a false ID to help. Clara, suspicious as to Cal's inquiries regarding sentences for jail breakers, visits Jaeger. She quizzes him, and marches into the living room to discover him cleaning his rifle. Over the course of the night, she realizes the need for this illegal activity and sanctions the risk, telling Cal she'll lie about Jaeger's alibi. They still have feelings for each other. They help Oyster escape and he makes it to Canada. Cal gives himself up.

Bero, a minor thief, attempts to steal jade from a No Peak Fist while he is dining in a clan-affiliated restaurant, but Bero and his Abukei accomplice Sampa are quickly caught and brought to Hilo for punishment. After they are beaten, a remark by Sampa about a recent murder in clan territory leads Hilo to take the two boys to be questioned in the presence of his brother Lan, the clan Pillar. Hilo attempts to convince Lan that the Mountain clan is squeezing No Peak territory, but he is opposed by Doru the Weather Man, who suggests it is a misunderstanding and counsels a peaceful solution. Feeling frustrated and unsupported by Doru, Lan asks his grandfather for permission to replace him as Weather Man, but Kaul Sen refuses to allow it. A short time after this, Shae returns to Kekon, looking for a job that will not require her to wear jade. The Mountain comes close to violating aisho by kidnapping Anden, who is still in his final year at the Academy. Ayt Mada offers Anden a position in her clan, signalling that she wishes to unite the Mountain and No Peak. Her purpose is partially to send a message that she considers Hilo an unsuitable Horn. Once Anden has been returned safely, Lan begins to move against the Mountain. He proposes a new law preventing any one clan from gaining control of the Kekon Jade Alliance, and he sends Shae to audit the KJA's accounts, looking for irregularities. Their message to Anden having been disregarded, the Mountain makes an attempt on Hilo's life. In retaliation, No Peak threatens to storm their training complex. To prevent this, the Mountain apologizes, gives up the would-be assassins and makes a territorial concession. The more senior of the assassins offers Lan a clean blade, demanding to be killed in combat. Believing that he needs to prove himself to the clan in order to remain Pillar, Lan accepts and wins the duel, but only barely. In the aftermath, Hilo asks his brother for permission to marry his girlfriend Wen, and Lan, despite misgivings about his brother marrying a stone-eye from a disreputable family, gives his permission. Lan has been injured in the duel and his jade tolerance has been affected, but he cannot be seen to show weakness by failing to wear the additional jade he has won. He arranges for Anden to bring him packages of shine. When Anden realizes what he is delivering he pleads with Lan to stop using the drug, but Lan swears him to secrecy. When Shae comes to see Anden he tries to tell her about the shine, but misses his opportunity. Shae reports to Lan that someone in the KJA is skimming jade, and that either Doru doesn't know about it and is incompetent, or he is allowing it to happen. Lan sends Doru overseas to get him out of the way and tells his allies on the Royal Council that he is going to suspend jade production. Lan receives a letter from his estranged wife, but can't bring himself to open it. Meanwhile Bero has been stealing shipments from the Docks. Through his fence he meets a mysterious Mountain Green Bone, who gives Bero a submachine gun and tells him to use it to shoot up the gentleman's club Lan frequents. Lan accidentally takes an overdose of shine while visiting the club, and when Bero attacks him he falls into the sea and drowns. When Shae hears about his death she immediately goes to the bank where her jade is kept and puts it all back on. Hilo is now Pillar and she persuades him to strike back by reclaiming some disputed territory rather than launching an all-out attack on the Mountain. She takes part in the battle, fighting several Mountain Green Bones and killing two. Afterward, Hilo asks her to become his Weather Man and she agrees. She cements her position by gaining the support of her main rivals for the role, and she spares Doru's life on condition that he gives up his jade, renounces clan business and spends his remaining days as a companion for her grandfather. The clans are now in a state of open war. Shae and Hilo attend negotiations with Ayt Mada and her Weather Man until Hilo accuses the Mountain of skimming jade from the KJA and supplying it to non- Green Bones, then storms out. Ayt arranges to meet Shae on safe ground and tries to talk her into betraying No Peak, but Shae refuses, knowing that she is putting her life in serious jeopardy by doing so. She tells Hilo that No Peak can only hold out for another six months. Wen asks Shae to make her a spy for the clan, without Hilo's knowledge. Shae sends her to a foreign military base with a shipment of jade worth millions, re-establishing the supply that has been disrupted by the KJA's suspension of jade production. Kaul Sen gives his jade to Doru, and Doru uses it to attack his guards and escape, defecting to the Mountain with all his knowledge of No Peak's business dealings. The Mountain continues to use its superior position to maim and kill No Peak Green Bones. On New Year's Day, Hilo marries Wen, then has Anden drive him into Mountain territory to be killed in combat, in return for clemency for the remaining No Peak clan members. Hilo kills several Green Bones but is overwhelmed. When Gont Asch steps in to finish him, Hilo and Anden together kill the Horn of the Mountain. The fight leaves Anden in a coma. When he regains consciousness, he learns that the loss of its Horn has dealt the Mountain a serious blow and given No Peak a temporary advantage in the war. Anden returns to the Academy for his graduation ceremony, but when he is presented with his jade he declares he does not want to be a Green Bone. He tells Hilo he does not want a life of violence, and when the Pillar rebukes him Anden runs from the Academy to Lan's grave. Later, under cover of darkness, Bero also visits the grave. He is still looking for jade, and in the former Pillar's coffin there is a generous supply.

Andromache "Andy" of Scythia, Booker, Joe, and Nicky are centuries-old warriors with regenerative healing abilities who use their vast experience to help people. Breaking their rule of working for the same people twice, they're hired by former CIA operative Copley to rescue a group of kidnapped children in South Sudan. During the mission, however, they are ambushed and killed. After healing their wounds and killing their attackers, they realize that Copley set them up and filmed their regeneration. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine Nile Freeman has her throat slit while taking down a military target, only to recover without a scratch. Upon waking, she shares a disturbing dream with the other immortals, who are then alerted to her existence. Andy tracks down and takes Nile before military personnel can move her to Germany, where she is due to undergo further testing. Copley shows the video of the ambush to pharmaceutical executive Steven Merrick, who sends operatives to capture the team. Andy brings Nile to France, where Nile meets the rest of their team. She is told about the female immortal Quynh, the first of Andy's comrades, who was cast into the sea in an iron maiden, and has been continually drowning ever since. The group also reveals that they are not truly immortal: their ability to heal eventually stops, without warning, which happened to a previous immortal, Lykon. The group is ambushed by Merrick's forces; Joe and Nicky are captured while a deceased Booker is left behind. After Booker regenerates, Andy kills their assailants but discovers that she has lost her immortality as her injuries do not heal. Booker locates Copley, while Nile separates from the group to reunite with her family. Andy and Booker confront Copley, only for Booker to betray Andy by wounding her, arguing that Merrick might find a way to end the immortality they've both grown weary of. As they are captured, however, Booker realizes that Andy is not healing. Copley has a change of heart when he sees that Merrick is willing to torture the immortals indefinitely to study them. Nile, having realized Booker sold out the group, arrives too late to intervene, but she convinces Copley to assist her in a rescue mission. She storms Merrick's London office and after she frees the rest of the immortals, they fight their way out through the rest of Merrick's security, while Andy and Nile kills Merrick by pushing him out of the window. As punishment for his betrayal, the group forbids Booker from contacting the rest of them for 100 years. The rest of the group meet with Copley, who reveals how their past missions had a greater effect than they ever knew, with the descendants of people they had rescued going on to help the world. With renewed faith in their mission, the group tasks Copley with keeping their existence a secret. Six months later in Paris, a drunken Booker is astonished to meet Quynh in his apartment.
